East Valley Airsoft

[fullmetalsweater]

I'm not sure if the queen creek wash off of rittenhouse/gary rd and cloud is public land or not but i went off roading down in there once and it looked like it would be a pretty cool to play in. Probably not a good spot for a huge game but it would probably work for 10-12 people. Im in Chandler and I have a buddy who lives in Gilbert. We would definitly be down to play. Let me know if you guys find anywhere to play.

well i think we should aim for a spot that could accommodate at least 20 people..

The wash has a lot of private property and no trespassing signs down there.

Covert One isn"t all that far

Don't play where "No Trespassing" signs are posted.  You've got no defense for playing on land where it's illegal to do so.  Search the forum...there are plenty of threads that have argued and been left lacking any reason to disobey the law.

Disregard if this was not what you were laughing about.
Be more responsible and respectful towards the sport, if it was.

Don't give PCSO another reason to restrict airsoft/paintball further.  It's already hard enough trying to find a legal place to play.

[A. Woolsey]

I agree, they are still attempting to completely rid of airsoft in the valley because people trespass and shoot bystanders. DO NOT go into areas with "No Trespassing" signs.

I'm in Gilbert and have been wishing EAST VALLEY would get some airsoft games going... I'm in and can give a ride to someone if they are close [smilie=armata_pdt_01.gif]   WELL LET ME KNOW when you figure out some games!!!!!!!!

Hey all,

I have been doing some research on this and there is very little in the way of playing in E. Valley per se. However, through my calls to BLM I have found some places, just south of Maricopa. We are able to play on these lands as long as we can obtain a permit, of which I am in the process. I'll keep you informed.  

Here is a link to the map...http://www.blm.gov/az/wildarea-map.htm

The orange spots are BLM lands. Look at #'s 33 through 36.

I'm in Gilbert and would love to find a location that's NOT 1.5 hrs. away!

I gott a think there's somthing out in Queen Creek??....

Do you have to have a permeit to play on public lands?

Thx,
Trey

The problem is that the vast majority of the East Valley area is State Trust land, which completely bans paintball and airsoft.  There is a TON of land out here, but conservationists prefer to keep it off-limits.

[Katabatik]

Correct, you cannot play on State Trust Lands.

@ those who flamed my last post, i wasnt laughing at it, i was laughing at the fact that he said it and considered that location a good place to play, even though there are signs preventing it.


@katabatik good good, keep us updated for sure
