I always enjoyed playing at Action Packed in Jordan (looked like they've expanded now - locations in Rogers, Maple Plain and Minneapolis).
$20 entry fee, $20 for 500 balls, $5 air all day. Woodsball/Speedball/Civil War and a new Urban field that looks pretty fun.

Good link Dan, though it would require some additional research as I know at least a few listed on that site are no longer operating.
Also good call JT I forgot to link that one, that urban field looks awesome and I didn't notice they had woodsball the first time I glanced so that's cool.
Adventure zone looks pretty cool too, well they all do lol.

I got my vest and mask cleaned up. The vest is in fine shape. I suppose it's hard to mess something like that up.
The mask is a bit rough though. The foam is kinda scratchy, it doesn't fit that well and the lens itself is pretty beaten up too. I don't think I'd want to spend much time using it. I'll be looking around for another, higher quality mask and probably keep this one as a backup.
Still, vest for $50 :notbad:

Schweet Dan!
And I heard good things about the Grillz from quite a few people living, I picked up an Empire E-Vents mask though, as well as Special Ops Broadsword Vest. Need to source some decent camo clothing then I should be pretty set at least till I get the gun and decide what changes I'm going to make to it, muhahahaha.

if you want good camo clothing go to CC military surplus they have good pants there. here is my setup
eventualy that jt proflex will be a DYE I4 dyecam, pants will be planet eclipse 2011 HDE pants and a new pod pack. i will warn you DO NOT BUY FROM VALKEN they are the worst company. i have had a product break and it still was under warranty and its been 2 months later after 4 emails havent heard back from them -_-.

My stuff showed up today, here's an interesting twist...
I have two vests now... upon further inspection of the auction, it does indeed list a vest. The pic just makes it look like a 4+1 belt. Derp...
This appears to be what I have: http://www.rockstartactical.com/product_p/utg-sprt-dlx-acu.htm
It also came with a squeegee and a pair of blue Empire gloves in the pockets.

Got the gun torn down and oiled up. It was pretty dang clean and seemed like it had been oiled recently, but I figured I should do it anyway just to be sure. I need to acquire a longer allen wrench to reinstall the front grip, but other than that things went smoothly.
Is there anywhere actually IN the cities that fills HPA tanks? I'd like to get one of my tanks filled so that I can make sure this thing works before I get out to a field and find out it doesn't. The CF tank had a small amount of pressure in it still (none read on the reg, but when I attached the remote line it started coming out), and when I hooked up the marker it was just hissing out of the barrel. Looking around, I bet it's just because there was almost no air left in the tank and I didn't cock it, but I'd love to make sure that's the case.

looks like you need to replace some O-rings, mnpro is the closest and adventure zone is to if your gona make a trip down to burnsville you should come stop by my appartment and ill help you with teching the gun for leaks. i also have a full HPA tank full of air if you want to save some money.
