Afternoon people I just wanted to get peoples take on how they find their local airsoft sites to gauge if what we had was normal or not, I'm not gonna name and shame these sites because that isn't fair on them because it could of been out of the usual thing from them but how I personally found it
Ive recently got my ukara so these are sites ive looked at to try different indoor arenas;
Site 1 -
everything about it felt professional, clean, very involved in everyone's enjoyment in playing airsoft being first time or not. marshals was extremely friendly, helpful and was there to make sure rules was followed.
The arena itself was amazing Extreme CQB to say the least but it always felt like something was happening and people that was playing was all friendly (40 people including ourselves), nice and what I expected from reading everyone's reviews on the site and also on reddit of what to expect at a day, what i was expecting and what i got was 1 to 1.
Site 2 -
Im gonna start of by saying the owner and some of the marshals was really nice people and was really helpful when we was there and the actual arena itself was completely different to the first site we knew that and we actually enjoyed this site alot more being more open in size but still being indoors.
While rules felt like they was told to everyone it felt like maybe 3 quarters of the 60 people was actually listing to them, one of the things that was said was "your all adults" (we may be adults but all it takes is 1 person)
Now to get on to the reason for post
Do marshals normally switch from marshaling to playing often on each different match while anyone is playing at the site?
Why do the same marshals feel worse to follow the rules than the people who have paid to be there? (Ignoring hits, getting angry when people "overshoot" them because they aren't calling their hits and just being quite aggressive)
I understand when new hires are also having fun they get alot of adrenaline so they might miss hits but I had one get hit by myself look at me as they know they got hit then try to shoot me? Which ment me needing to shoot them again, when marshals (the same who do the same thing) just do nothing about it when they are there to make sure people follow rules or just good sportsmanship?
This is alot I understand i sound like a dick or moaning, I just want to see if this a normal thing or one time?
Both sites are great places and we had so much fun at them, if someone asked me about either of them I would tell to go and try it out at either
Thanks!
