My name is Scott McKay and today we are shooting here from McKay's Hedge Row. We are standing
in front of the American Fort right now. We are going to talk about paintball fields and
size and some of the things you need to have a good paintball field. You need a good safe
area where people can go and take their masks off, look at their guns and make sure everything
is working right, cool down, eating a snack, access to water is always good and if not
bring coolers of water. You don't need anyone getting sick. We have two separate safe areas.
We have the first safe area which we park our vehicles in and the second safe area is
more of a staging area once we decide what kind of game we are going to play. We come
out in to that area and if you get out you go back to the safe area and wait for everybody
else. It is always good to let your neighbors know what you are doing so they won't call
the cops on you. You need to know that your field is large enough so that no stray paintballs
are going to enter in anyone's direction that is not playing the game. I recommend don't
play in the cities unless it is a sanctioned field. This piece of property is about twelve
and a half acres and it has two good size, two story forts on it. Work with what you've
got I mean this place didn't really have a whole lot going for it when we first started
but through the hard work of many people who love the game you see stuff like this popping
up all the time so a good size field always helps. A wooded area, we like playing in the
woods ball and scenario and if that is not your thing you can play inflatable bunkers
and play in a nice back lot but well moved. Whatever you do keep it safe, know your guns
if you are not going to play a normal field, keep your guns under 300 feet per second.
Always require masks on the field. A good thing to keep you covered is liability forms.
You can talk to a lawyer and get some simple liability forms drawn out and keep everybody
out of trouble.
