New CQB field coming to Cincinnati

[murph28]

I came across the website for a new CQB field in Cincinnati on another thread and figured I'd put it up on here.

http://cincinnatiairsoft.com/

For now all the site is is a homepage giving the basics about the new field.
But I figured I'd put this up to give everyone the heads up.

Also if anyone has any further information on the new field(s) that isn't on the website, feel free to post it.

[TATER77]

Thank you GOD!! Finally a field closer than Red Dragon, Valley Creek, and Springfield.

[Private_BIGG]

I believe this is the field/shop being opened up by the guys who run one of the airsoft stores in trader's world. I forget their name, but they sold a lot of stuff when i was there last weekend and was almost out of stock.

[Dutch]

it is going to be started by extreem war zone(spelled this way). i am currently employed there bldg 11 in traders world. this place will be 2 stories, have a urban environment along with office style, room clearing areas. They are working to get it open late August sometime. If i get to take a tour, i will take photos and post them accordingly. but i know we are probably dragging a car or 2 in, and maybe some spring doors. But i'll know more down the road

[Buddy Love]

A CQB arena here? That's amazing news. I'll be paying close attention to this thread, I'm eager for information on this one.

[Dutch]

The building is in the tri county mall area. Its an old furniture store next to staples.

[BIRDSTRIKE]

Sounds good to me. Someplace to play that will not be super cold this winter.

[Buddy Love]

Holy moley. That's just a few blocks from my house. That's a MASSIVE building with multiple levels! I've been in there a few times before the furniture store closed up shop. My wife and I agreed that it was way too large for a furniture store.

I can't think of a better airsoft arena that that place.

[UrbanMarine]

They need to open a place like this in columbus.

[Red]

I'll be happy with a place like this anywhere in Ohio...I'm down to travel two hours from Columbus to Cinci for some badass play.

Dutch, like I said before...get this guy up and running, and do it RIGHT! I want to see a CQB field last in Ohio.

[Dutch]

Red i'll do my best, although i am not the person with the money, i hope they will value my opinion. From what i have seen on paper it looks very nice. And if anyone has any suggestions, PM me and i will run them across the boss. But this arena will also cater to police forces for training purposes.

[Alex Ghone]

YES! Having an arena in Cincinnati is JUST what we need. Lol.

KICK ***.

[203]

Thats like 15 mins away! AMAZING!

[murph28]

I feel like this place is going to bring all sorts of players ranging from vets. with full gear, to new players using walmart springers and wearing jeans and a hoody.

[Buddy Love]

I feel like this place is going to bring all sorts of players ranging from vets. with full gear, to new players using walmart springers and wearing jeans and a hoody.

That was the first thing I thought about when I realized it was going to be in tri county. I'm hoping the standards are -extremely- high.

[Dutch]

For being an employee, i will try to keep the standards high. I am sure there will be a few people who try to play that way but i know there will be more people playing in full battle rattle.

[mr_kong]

Yeah dutch, make sure it doesn't become a dush.

[Phil]

Word.

Hopefuly this doesn't become the next Gonequest. Don't let a dumbass hillbilly be in charge ;)

[Spectre]

Guys remember, the place still needs to make a profit.

[Buddy Love]

True. I think it's excellent area to do that. But if the mall crowd from next door starts filling it up, I'll cry.

[Private_BIGG]

Guys remember, the place still needs to make a profit.

Best bet would be to have 3pm-10pm open to public on fri-sun. Then let 10a-3p sat-sun be reserved for events, and let mon-thurs be available to police training or private reservations.

You guys need to understand that businesses cannot stay afloat if they are elitist. You aren't going to see a MEGAstore only selling $5-10K suits. I know they sell some of the cheap plastic guns at their traders world location, they would do well to keep that up at their store too. They are going to get all kinds in there to play, might as well make money off of it.

[murph28]

Maybe they could someone come up with some plan to keep the noobs with the noobs and the others with the others.
Maybe use one area for the new players with the lower end guns, or maybe have certain days like "amateur" days or something like that.





Guys remember, the place still needs to make a profit.


And I definatly agree with you here, and by somehow figuring out a way to allow the noobs to play and gain experience. Because noobs won't always be noobs. And as they gain experience they will gain the desire for more intense play, and what comes with that is higher end weapons and gear.

[Dutch]

Very true. There are going to be kids that play. But we will have times for the vets to have their fun. Also i have heard that any team willing to go up against police as the bad guys are welcome to. But be prepaired to be handcuffed. Lol. It will be a great place to play, and we will cater to all players. We will have a lot of adventures for everyone

[Spec-Ops]

Cant wait, best news I've had in airsoft for a long time!

any team willing to go up against police as the bad guys are welcome to. But be prepaired to be handcuffed.

I will discuss it with my team, but so far, SEAL Team 5 would be interested, anything to help local law enforcement keep are streets safe. Send me a PM when you know more.

How funny would it be if we always beat the police? :D

[murph28]

UPDATE:
Update 30 Jul 09
- Working with a net supplier to get netting that will stop the Airsoft pellets, so we can make a fun and entertaining Arena.

- Spoke to the insurance company today and Basic safety requirements for play will be a full face mask. I am waiting to hear back concerning Max Feet per Second but it should be 385 - 400.

Thats the newest update on the webite.
Although I'm not too fond of the full face mask rule, I guess we'll all have to deal with it.

[mr_kong]

I will discuss it with my team, but so far, SEAL Team 5 would be interested, anything to help local law enforcement keep are streets safe. Send me a PM when you know more.
Most likely have to be 18+.

[Dutch]

I believe police interaction has to be 18 and up

[Spectre]

If the FPS limitation is 385 or 400, I will not be playing there. Full face mask or not, that is simply too high to be engaging each other a point blank range. Veteran operator or not, its too easy to pelt someone three feet away and possibly break skin.

Then make it a semi auto only field. Problem solved :) But then again I'm biased.

[Dutch]

I was thinking the same thing. The top floor will be 20k sq ft alone. And again those fps limits are guesstimations. So no one get all ruffled up yet.

[Buddy Love]

Thank you for providing an update, Murph. I'm definitely pulling for your success in this.

[Spec-Ops]

Most likely have to be 18+.

Everyone on my team is over the age of 18 by my rule.

[darksniper]

Cant wait. im so using my TM P90. I think the max fps should be 350.

[HK]

Regardless on what the insurance say's the field own can make whatever fps limit he/she wants as long as it does not go over what the insurance is covering. So a good suggestion would be under 350fps.

Example: The insurance will cover me (the field owner) to 400fps. I think it's to high so I make my field 350 for safety reason's. Everyone's gun must chrono under 350fps to play on my field, even though I could go to 400fps, I think the player's are safer under 350fps in case of close encounter's.

Exactly my point.

[murph28]

Dutch do you have any idea whether or not it was the owners decision to make the rules full face mask, or was it the insurance company's decision?

[Dutch]

i believe it is a basic, form of protection. I personally will have a lower attachment for my goggles, or a neoprene face mask and a mouthguard. but I will find out more, when I know.

[Skate]

Dutch, will masks be available for rent? This will be the closest field to me, but I don't have a full face mask.

[Spec-Ops]

Dutch, talked it over with my team, we will help out with swat training when we can. Do you know what teams we will be working with, if this happen's?

[Dutch]

mask may be up for rent. and spec. idk what teams you will be up against.

[darksniper]

spec i would do if our team does. i like that idea. i just wish i team would do team drills and other stuff.

[Spec-Ops]

mask may be up for rent. and spec. idk what teams you will be up against.

Thanks Dutch, one of my team member's was wondering. We want to help them out.

[Jinkley]

Only 30 minutes away! I really hope this place comes through.

[TATER77]

Only 30 minutes away! I really hope this place comes through.

Don't we all?:D

[medic67]

Sweet I can't wait! All the more reason for me to jump into airsoft with both feet! Sounds exciting, winter play to!

[murph28]

Sounds exciting, winter play to!

I think this is one of the major perks of this place opening. I think this place is going to bring in a lot of money during the winter months when people are forced inside because of the cold.

[Spec-Ops]

I think this is one of the major perks of this place opening. I think this place is going to bring in a lot of money during the winter months when people are forced inside because of the cold.

Yep, even during the summer months too. It's going to be nice to have somewhere to go and play airsoft, any week out of the month.

[Dutch]

and nice for me too, because when i go on break, just hop in a game :D

[Dutch]

Another Update:

But FYI Full Face masks are an Insurance requirement (no way around it). They will be available for sale and rent.

Game Requirements will be 350fps max to keep injuries down.

In select games max FPS will be 400fps... i.e. against the police if they will allow us to have non-police as the opposing force (have to see what they want).

We will keep the novice with novice and more experience with the vets as well.

That is all for now, thanks for input.

[Skate]

Its like christmas in July, three new fields within 40 minutes of me. Dutch will a 15 year old be able to play there or is minimum age 16? I understand that 18+ with the police will probably be the best policy.

[Dutch]

i believe so skate, we have stuff for everyone.

Thanks for the update on the FPS rules, Dutch. As many others have already said, I'm pulling for you guys. An indoor location within twenty minutes would be great.

[Border Police94]

Man I cant wait for this place to open up I just hope that my gun shoots under 350 I think that it's somewhere around 360-370 so we'll see. Finally don't have to go all the way to red dragon for airsoft.

[Kung Fu Moses]

Tee Hee, and to think you told me about it a looooong time ago, Dutch. It's getting me even more excited now that everyone else is excited. Good place to see if that L85 really is good for CQB.

[kxracer9605]

Thanks, that makes me feel alot better. I will be stopping by to check this place out then.

[Dutch]

Thanks Spectre. It makes me happy to see that a lot of people here at AO are excited as i am. I am hoping to get pictures here soon.

[Kung Fu Moses]

Is he still toying with the sports bar/CC T.V. idea?

[Dutch]

not really, we will have cctv, and maybe a sitting area for people hang out

[murph28]

not really, we will have cctv, and maybe a sitting area for people hang out

I think that'd be a pretty good idea.
I mean it's always fun if you're not playing, to atleast be watching.

[Kung Fu Moses]

I liked the sports bar idea, but that sounds cool too. I was expecting somewhere to hang out. It was a given. I don't know if it's Blind Fury getting to me, or the fact that I'm watching RvB, but I'm getting antsy-er and antsy-er just thinking about it.

[doc_murray]

just stumbled upon this thread, all the cqb places in WPA have withered and died for a variety of reasons. I think this one might have some staying power. it will be worth the drive for me, I love CQB/ MOUT. Just one thing for the forum in general, can this " I dont wanna play with noobs " crap. All of us were noobs at one time, Veterans of the sport need to act as mentors, trreat new guys as students, not target practice. Teach them and they will make good opposition and good team mates in the future.

I play both airsoft and paintball and I greatly prefer airsoft, but paintball players in general dont treat new guys like this. oh well i'm done with this tangent

This field will do well and I cant wait to play there, might be my first road trip in september when I get back from IRAQ.

good luck

[Alex Ghone]

If more people were like doc here, I'm sure that noobs like me wouldn't feel more at a disadvantage :P.

[relecamper519]

YES! Finally an airsoft arena in Cincinnati!!!

[Phil]

YES! Finally an airsoft arena in Cincinnati!!!

You mean "Finally another airsoft field in Cincinnati"?

There are 2 already

[Border Police94]

Actaully phil I think relcamper meant a cqb arena in cincinnati. Also I live by him and know him personnally and neither of the fields are within 1 hour maybe even an hour and a half within us, This one will be only a half an hour away. So thats what I think he meant, Just to clarify.

[Alex Ghone]

Im pretty sure that this feild is like 25 minutes away from me... Correct me if I am wrong, people from West Chester.

[strikers_blade]

This field is located roughly 3 minutes from Exit 15 of I-75 so if you know how long it takes you to get to that exit, you know how long the whole trip will take.

From West Chester, you should not take more than 15min unless you are on a bicycle and/or live on the extreme North Edge of the city and even so.

As far as Arena/Field, If you start from Exit 1 of I-75, you have 2 fields within an hour for sure. One in Hammersville and one in Williamsburg. You can find reference here;
http://www.airsoftohio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13817&highlight=place+play

On top of that, Springfield is less than 90min away...so at the end, Cincinnati has a lot to offer already :D

[SWAT-Ike]

I'm pumped to hear about this, there's a group of about 12 of us up in Cedarville that have been looking for some CQB play, I'm sure we'll be hitting this place up as much as possible. I'll be watching for updates.

[Border Police94]

Ok not to good with directions is this the building next to Dave n' Busters sorry if this has already been asked.

[Alex Ghone]

Well now thank you sir :D

[TaztheGinger]

:For being an employee, i will try to keep the standards high. I am sure there will be a few people who try to play that way but i know there will be more people playing in full battle rattle.

I don't consider myself a noob but i am not over the age of 15 can you make the entry age 12 so i can come pwn, lol
I have a 400-425 fps :D gbb m4 from airsoft megastore and i was wondering is i would be allowed to use that? If not then could I use my aeg 300-350 fps mp40 from airsoftmegastore?

[Dace]

What have i done to deserve this?This is literally right down my street!

[bigpillows9]

Yes!!!!!!! A field only 20 minutes away!!!! Its about time

[Spec-Ops]

Is their any updates, on the opening?

[Dutch]

Just kinda paused in the paperwork right now.. I will put out an update when i know more

Does being younger reallly make you a n00b? I was under the influence that your age doesnt matter, if you are serious about the sport, obey the rules, achieve the objective, and have a good time while doing these things then i believe you are not a "n00b".

Honestly i feel we throw the word "n00b" around more than is neccesary. How would me being a few months short of being 15 make me a n00b?
No offense to anyone but asking "n00bish" questions like "I have a 400-425 fps " even when it is clearly stated that would not be allowed. This i would deem "n00bish" if any thing. My point is that it is a common stereotype that younger players are automatically "n00bs" even if they could beat you.

An example of a younger player that is quite good is 203 ,I dont think he will mind me saying his name. 203 is a great player that is still a "kid".

I understand that this not place to be putting this but i need to get this off my chest. you can move if you wish mods.

In no way do i want to start a flame war if one is started I will just walk away.

I also apologize for any grammar problems there may be.

It doesn't, newbie has nothing to do with your age, if your new to airsoft then your a newbie. If your a veteran airsoft player, then your not.

Now we can get back onto the topic

[Dace]

sorry i agree

will this place have a pro, much like a golf course has a golf pro?

[Dutch]

da dace to answer your question, yes CA will have minimum 3 skill sets. easy med and hardcore.

[WARHAWK1776]

Duch he wants to know if you'll have an onsite CQB pro like a golf pro so he can wack some balls lol

[Dutch]

ummm. as for now IDK if i can find a pro prolly ,but as of now no

[SgtButland]

What are the odds you guys opening doors before labor day weekend?

[vbtb110]

any pictures?

SGT - unknown

vbtb110 - no none yet

Talked to Doug today at Trader's World, he said the website and forums should be up early this week...

Are you kidding me? Dutch told you the limit for ages as well as FPS. Those are hard limits set by the insurgence company/owner. Why do you guys always ask if you have to follow them? Do you think you are special? Having people under the age cap or over the FPS cap is not only dangerous but irresponsible.

In addition being young does not make one a "n00b" (SIC). Being experienced is simple. It is one part attitude, one part aptitude. Asking questions like the ones above simply show a lack of both. I will tell you right experienced players like Blade or Evil Head (or any of the other "vets") would ever ask if they could use a replica that was to hot, or if they could still "pwn" even though they were under the age cap.

Airsoft success is simple, follow the instructions, follow the rules, and be responsible. If you can't do that then go home.

Sorry if that was abrasive, but any event/field with a cap has people begging to have the rules bent for them and it drives me (I follow them) insane.

[W.A.R.]

what was the name of the furniture store that this feild is bein made from.

[Border Police94]

Ok the last few posts confused about this, will there be an age limit just to play. I realize the fps limit willbe 350 and I know that you have to be 18 to play the police but what about just regular matches?

[Dutch]

no age limit. we have different style of play for everyone. I am not going to put a person with experience with noobs just to get his rocks off.

Also Cincinnatiairsoft.com has updated. there is now a forum, where information will be listed. So get registered and enjoy

[Border Police94]

Hey just wondering but so i dont waste 80 dollars would this kind of mask be allowed.

Not ANZI rated... You are just asking to loose an eye. BBs can break and go through those holes. Most event hosts I have met would have a fit if you tried to wear that.

It does look cool though...

[@irsoftKrue]

if you wear a pair of goggles under that i see no prob.

[Border Police94]

Ya but my friend has this mask and i've worn them before(settle down not for a match lol) and there's no room under them for even my seeing glasses.

[Dutch]

then i doubt that will be allowed

[vbtb110]

any pictures?

how about now?

[sylence]

nope. when you see pictures is when i will have them... (this is dutch on silences name)

[@irsoftKrue]

do you have an address so i can get a rough estimate of how close it is

[doc_murray]

any news on this field? is it open yet?

[Dutch]

nothing yet.. paperwork.. all updates posted now at cincinnatiairsoft.com/forums

its been 12 days since the last question, i was wondering if this place was open yet, the forums doesnt have any details on a specific date or even an estimate. thank you

[SNIPERSAM15]

The building is in the tri county mall area. Its an old furniture store next to staples.

Ha I've been there its only 15 minute away from my house finally something close.

[Dutch]

apparently you cannot read. all updates are posted on cincinnatiairsoft.com/forums

[redneckairsofter]

tictac to learn more about this arena go to cincinnatiairsoft.com.....

[Locutus]

If/when this field opens, please create a new thread with the announcement.

In the meantime, everyone who is interested can keep up with the latest info on the forum Redneckairsofter provided.

Thanks.
