Go Airheads

While Go Airheads does have a very unique field that’s cool as a concept, it’s definitely one massive safety hazard. Complete with a broken-​down helicopter, old RVs, rooms filled with rusty nails, and a massive herd of live goats for younger kids who think they’re being cool to shoot at. The last time I went, a baby goat was taken inside since a 13 year old thought he’d be tough for purposefully shooting it’s legs from a few feet away. Needless to say he was banned permanently from the field.
Most weekends Go Airheads is overcrowded with hundreds of players, and only 2 – 3 referees. The field is usually filled with very slick mud, broken pieces of wood, and in some places broken glass from the old vehicles that employees never bothered to clean up. I’ve witnessed a more than minor injury each time I’ve gone to Go Airheads. Whether it’s someone cutting their hands open on rusted sheet metal, or the entertaining situation of a rusty nail going completely through a player’s foot, it’s happened at Go Airheads. When it comes to field layout, it really only leaves room for trench-​warfare stalemates, though the helicopter in the center is very cool.
The field charges a fair-​priced $ 10 admission, but that’s about their only fair price. AEG’s at the field run for roughly $ 100 more than their standard retail price, along with any accessories. Last I saw they were selling a $ 10 NC-​Star Reflex Sight for $ 55, yikes.
As for the staff inside of their store, (which is made out of an industrial storage container), only one of them seemed to know anything about airsofting. Most of the employees can’t even tell the difference between a stick-​type and butterfly-​type battery. Despite their lack of airsoft knowledge, the staff and owners are very nice people, even though they let goats roam around on an airsofting field where they will no doubt be shot up on accident or on purpose by a number of children.
No public bathrooms aside from one in a nearby house, strangely enough the food they serve is all homemade stews, which are quite good.
Most players that go hear are cocky, arrogant 13 – 16 year olds, most of which don’t play by the rules and are very competitive, as a side note.
One major note, aside from eye-​protection, safety is NOT a concern to the management at Go Airheads. Like I previously stated, lots of old, rusty and sharp bits and pieces are lying all over the field. Broken glass covers the ground in lots of areas, and barbwire fences outline the back of the field. Rifles here are NOT chronoed by any means. I’ve seen many players shooting as hot as 480 in close quarters situations on full-​auto, the limit on the field being 400.
Overall fair service, horribly maintained field filled with unfortunate goats and rude players. I do not recommend Go Airheads under any circumstances.

My son went airsofting today and absolutely loved it! For a small fee they played from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.. I would much rather them do this than sit around and play videogames all day :-)
