Ja. They got a chrono at the range.
They insist you chrono down to around 250 if you play in the SWAT house, coz you tend to get a lot closer than you do in the bush, or speedball ranges.

They sell boxes of PBs(Slasher @ R350/200 balls), beer, cold drinks, wors rolls (around lunchtime)...
They have shaded tables and seating as well as braai facilities. All very 'rustig'.

@ jules - you did mean R350 per 2000 (not 200)

@ rainy - 29th - not 22nd, unless i missed something?

@ you both, i will be bringing both my dive cylinders, so plenty of air, and together with jule's friend, there should be enough.

@ Jules - man, an angel for BT /sigh looks good though, really good. my dream is to turn my A5 into an M95.

@ the bushies vs speedies - I will bring my EX speedie gun, that i use as a bush gun (only because i never play speedball) why am i saying that- i actually dont know, maybe cause i think the gun doesnt make the player, and if the marker works for you and you know its intricacies, then it doesnt really matter.

@ Fly... Ja. 2000 PBs. My bad.

The 22nd is a 'regular game' at Field 19 that I'm going to. Don't think I'll be going to the scrapyard game the following week, afterall. There's a weekend club bike trip of about 20 bikes going out to Hazyview that weekend that I'm very keen to go on.

LMAO. I just got a picture of Fly running around with a dive cylinder on his back, and a remote coil running to his marker.
Field 19 has CA cylinders on site to fill CA bottles.

What can I say? The angel looked like a paintball gun. The Bravo (Tippman, not BT) is so much cooler, IMO. Plus, the weight of it is a bonus to me. It handles somewhat more like a real rifle, but is still a bit light.
Bushies... speedies.... tomato.... errr... tomato?
There are shit hot (pro?) speedies that come play at field 19. They are geared up in pure speedie gear, but they maintain in the bush, coz their high end markers are wikkid accurate at range. They generally hold back and pwn anyone that tries to push through to our 'base'. In the speedball range, well... you may be accurate, but we can shit out up to 20PBs/sec (but we do tend to limit markers to semi-auto if there are speedies and rentals playing, otherwise it's just overwhelming for them). You can't shoot me if you can't stick your head out of cover.
End of the day, there are pros and cons to both versions, and it's all really just a game, which we play purely for fun
I just like the look of the MilSim markers.

Also, consider the 'non lethal weapon' application of a marker like mine. I can load 200 balls into my hopper. Mix up pepper balls and solid balls, then fire them all out into someone's face, in 10 seconds. I leave it loaded as such in the house for in case. Natania is not as inclined to kill people as I am.

Scico, I quote:

"Mike (Fly) and myself will be going through to Field 19 on the 22nd if you wanna join us, rainy"

Yes.
You must forgive Fly... he's a bit slow at times.

i forgive you too scico, i dont remember saying i will be there on 22nd, but since you ave invited me, i wil be there on the 22nd
do you happen to have the co-ords/directions to field 19? lookin forward to it

Lol.
I'm fairly sure that I've sent you directions and GPS co-ords before, but here they are again...

Get onto William Nicol, heading out towards Dainfern/Indaba hotel.
Go straight past both.
Once past Dainfern, you'll go through a dip and up a hill. Up at the top of the hill, on the right, you'll see another PB field called 'The Woods'. That's not it.
When going down the hill after that, near to the bottom of the dip, on the left, there's a sign saying 'Field 19'. That is it.
Go down the li'l dirt road a ways, then take the turn to the right where the sign says so. Then you're in the parking lot.
The dirt road bit is only about 150m long, so it won't pwn your car. If Russel can get his 'Pimp my ride' Scooby down there, you can probably get a Gallardo down there, coz his suspension is lower.

Co-ords:
25 deg 57' 28"S, 28 deg 0' 58"E
If you use a cell phone GPS, like me, I can SMS the position to you. Lemme know.

No. It's a different Julian. I know, it confuses a lot of people, me included.

cool, i am sure you have mentioned the directions before,

looking forward to sunday the 22nd, what time do u arrive there?

The field only opens at 09h30, so I get there around 10 to gear up, gas up, buy PBs (if I don't get them beforehand), drink my coffee, etc.

So I am just going to assume you dudes, if you're coming to play on Sunday, will be using your own transport.
I already have a box of 2000 Safcaps 3-2 PBs, so that's covered. If we need more, I'll get them from the range, although they aren't 3-2's, but rather the entry-level Safcaps. So what? It's just a game...

There will also be a few black dudes we are introducing to the game on Sunday... I know, we all want to shoot the darkies, but try be nice.
They are pretty decent guys, and can be very funny.
Consequently, I will be there when the field opens at 09H30.

You know, I actually have to get up earlier on weekends than I do for work, these days... wtf?

Next weekend is a kiddies invitational (how do I keep getting roped into these things? 20+ Children?? All primary school kids! That's my worst nightmare, but I have been elected one of the 'Team captains' and marshal. Hopefully they will all bring their very appreciative, hot single moms with them) as well as the scrapyard game.

The following, is the 'Beirut' urban warfare game, very close to Field 19 (The Woods... you'll drive right past it. It actually used to be the barracks, workshops and whatnot for Armed Response waaaaay back when... when I was their operations co-ordinator (about 16 years ago ) so I know those buildings pretty well, although they have probably changed somewhat. They certainly had roofs, windows and doors back then)).

Well, hope to see you two on Sunday... and paint you!
