TCP Traverse City + weekly games at Copemish field

[Cats (Doom)]

I just spoke with the owner of TCP's Traverse City branch who has been trying to promote airsoft in northwest Michigan for a couple years now. He informed me that this year he will be hosting weekly rec games at the TCP field in Copemish. Information on the field is here: www.tcpaintball.com/traversecity/fieldlocation.htm. Currently no dates are set in stone but he assures me they will be once spring is closer.

Their store recently relocated about a mile south of their previous location in Chum's Corners. Currently they carry a decent lineup of G&Gs including M4 combat machines, MP5s, and UMGs. He said that they will also be carrying more brands and models this spring.

He speculated that he may eventually also host games more than once a week, do airsoft repairs, gun rentals, and the possibility of opening another 2 acer field closer to TC.

TCP North's new 2 acer field opened this weekend, still no news about them hosting any sort of airsoft games though. Also, instead of expanding his airsoft inventory, Wayne scaled back his current inventory of guns.

I just saw this in the weekly TCP news letter:
" We are now open for Air Soft play at the Store Location. Sundays from Noon-3pm Entry is only $15"

I can't make it for a month, so if anyone does make it can you please let players know about MiA and/or MichNAA so we can get in contact with all local players.

I just got out to one of these games today. The field is set up like a paintball/speedball field but with five small killhouse style structures. Not sure how good it would be with more than 4v4 or 5v5, because of how small it is.

The only rules right now are full seal goggles if your over 18, paintball mask if your under 18, you must fill out a safety waiver, there is a "surrender" rule within 20ft of a player if you get the drop on them, mags out of gun and on saftey when outside the paintball netting, no dry-fires outside the net, all pyrotechnics must be approved before play, goggles on when inside the net, and some normal common decency stuff. They work on a warning system; break a rule you get a warning, break a second rule your gone for the day. If it's a serious offense or repeated frequently, then you could be banned from the field.

There we're no active refs when we played, and all the players just came to a general concenses about how we we're going to play before we started.

Overall me and my teammate both had a ton of fun. Everyone else seemed to have a good time too. I plan to keep attending here and hopefully bring more of my team out next time. If anyone else plans to go here let me know before hand and I'll try to join you.
