Wooded area or small copes wanted to hire

Postby covert ops » Tue Oct 09, 2012 1:29 pm

Woodland wanted for Airsoft company to use onces a month to hold their "games". This is similar to paintball but without the mess and distress to the land..

We are a very trustworthy company with insurances and a full health and safety policy

If you own a site in the Staffordshire area that you'd like to make a small income from please contact me

Thank you

but are the little balls biodegradable, otherwise I would imagine within a few months, the ground would be littered with them

Hi mate

Mostly there not but are small enough to be trod into the ground and lost forever which I'm told help in airing the ground, there is a biodegradable version that can be used if that's ever a concern

Thanks

Trod into the ground might well be out of sight and out of your mind, but that doesn't mean they present no concern to the environment. As for "airing the ground", maybe that's "ease your conscience"!

Hi

Never encountered any problems or complaints from land owners so far on their use there are alternatives but I'm not on here to debate..

Hi don't want to be petty but there's no point commenting if there's not going to be an end result I don't want to waste anyone's time if there's a genuine interest from someone with land theses issues can be discussed directly with that person
Thanks

Not familiar with airsoft, I presume the littleballs, are BB's?? :lol:

If I had woodland in Staffordshire, I'd definitely be interested in this sort of thing, pity I'm limited to a few tree's and about an acre of wood in N. Wales.

Good luck with your search.

"airing the ground"

What a joke!

Not for me...

I was intrigued to know about this 'sport', quick research revealed that;

"Conventional airsoft pellets pollute the environment, as most non-biodegradable pellets have a mineral- or petroleum-based center, coated in non-biodegradable plastics, thus ensuring they will stay in the environment for several hundred years if not collected."

Hmm. lovely. Why not do what the US army does and just use depleted uranium? At least they glow in the dark and are easier to find to pick up !!

I don't have a wood in the required area, but letting people spray bits of bright plastic all over my wood isn't my idea of the best way of looking after it.
