G-TAC Galway Tactical Airsoft Centre

MaxForce

Hi All,
Just want to start by saying thanks to Oisin for permission for putting this up.

I have been talking to a land owner in Galway County who has a large wood and forest area near Eyrecourt. The townland is called Tiranascragh. At this point I want to gauge interest in the location. The entry fee would be €25. At the moment there would be no rentals available or ammo. I would be hoping to offer these shortly, as soon as there is a bit in the Kitty. This been week 1 I am hoping to take a week off from work in week 4 carry out some work on the site and have the first skirmish there that weekend. After that, I would hold shoots as my current work commitments would allow, which would be once or twice a week. The potential for this site to have an overnight event is very high as there are no houses to close by. the location itself is about an hour from Galway, Ballinasloe and Limerick. I am sorry for the vague details at the moment but I am in work. As soon as I get home tonight I will post a google place mark to the location. basically if coming from Galway its out the Portumna road, through Kilimor and take the turn for Banagher, at the junction with the main Ballinasloe Road, turn right for Portumna continue through Ballycrossaun and watch out for signage for Cummins Cottages. Continue on till you see a high bank on your left and the location is just down that road.

If any wants to ask any questions please do so. As I said, I will post a google place mark for it but if you want to check it out on the Galway County Council map based planning system.

I had a look at the google placemark you sent me Maxforce. And I have to say, if you can get that going it will be absolutely fantastic. I'd definitely be willing to travel.

I am chomping at the bit for a night game and especially some woodland play. Count me in

N.O.I.P.

G-G-G-Galway, havent looked at the map but if the sites impressive enough to get Oisin off his arse then yup I'll go, any idea how long it would take to walk from Bray?

Oh and good luck with this.

MaxForce

OK Lads. I am putting together a test meet. I am sorry for the short notice but if anyone wants to come to it please feel free to do so. It will be on Sunday from around 10 AM on wards and as there will be no work done at the site, this one is on me. There are no nearby shops as far as I know so bring provisions. Sensible foot ware and eye protection. Will post up the place mark a little latter.
Martin.

Hivemind187

Dang! I dont think you'll see me or Oisin there for a while yet, and certainly not by Sunday. A pity, because my interest is piqued.

N.O.I.P.

Aw man I planned on drinking heavily tomorrow night (thats right kids planned alcoholism is responsible alcoholism ) I'll try and arrange a way down but I think I'll probably need a little more time

their should be me the bro and may be the nephew going so thats 5-6(scope,tcob1 and of cause MAX )? So far

MaxForce

I am afraid TCOB has prior arrangments. I am in Oranmore so if some one wants to come down in my car ther is no problem.

Can anyone supply a google earth link ?
An hour away from Limerick sounds good as I know there
are a few peeps down this neck of the woods interested in airsoft.

Savage, I have a house not too far from there (in country terms). I'd be up for coming down to a game some weekend!

MaxForce

Here is the Goggle Place Mark. And also for any one who has not found the aerial view on the Galway County Planning Website, here is that also. If any of ye knows anybody not on Boards who would be interested would ye please pass on the details. PM me for my mobile number if any one wants it. Thanks All.

No M8 no public transport. Definitely only accessible by car. Sorry.
AA Roadwatch has it listed as 57 min from Limerick to Portumna, so it wouldnt be to far from there. About 1 1/2 hours should be OK.

Sounds perfect as a Predator "replacement"

NakedDex

If I can acquire anyone with a car to get me there I will be there but it's looking doubtful as they've fecked off to Dublin and I don't know if they'll be back Sunday. But I should have a new car soon so consider me a regular visitor when you start

N.O.I.P.

Eh, thats wahy the " " were there. It'll never live up to pred completely but he can try. Out with the Warwagon once more:D

MaxForce

Before I forget it, the basic rules of operation apply here same as any other Airsoft Site. No one under the age of 16 and anyone between 16 and 18 must have parental consent. A Waiver of Liability will be available on the day for you all to sign. No Sign No Play. You must wear facial and eye protection before entering and at all times while in the battle zone. All guns will have their magazines removed, chambered rounds cleared and safeties engaged before leaving the battle zone. The basic rules of engagment also apply. These ae basic rules. Use your heads guys. The more detailed rules will be posted as soon as the site is open properly.

I am not trying to replace any site. I am trying to provide an alternative solution for people who find it hard to travel. Anyway the succes will all depend on the players and the way they play.:D

DevilsBreath

Sounds very interesting. Sitting in my parents place in Spideal at the mo. How do you think this would go down with them. I swear i ment to come over this weekend but ended up getting ambushed and had to camp out in a forest and protect my clan members from the roving hordes .

I can see the CC getting burned up buying one night vision lens and a infa red lens

EyesOnly

Hmm anyone got some spare BB's i've only got about a 1000 left for 2(3) of us

Lemming

Good news on a new site. Only possible issue that might raise its head is Gtac vs. Gtac, who are UK-based.

[--SC(+)PE--]

hmm that might be a problem alright.

EyesOnly

Anyway cars packed and ready to go, so im going to watch some TV (bleach , ergo proxy)

thecivvie

MaxForce, good luck tomorrow, in spirit will be there, sadly the body is falling to bits

ScumLord

MaxForce a man who delivers, I'm voting for you in the next local elections!

Ah yes duck tape, is their anything it cant do?
I once foiled a group of international terrorists armed only with a roll of duck tape and a handy can of silicone oil [good times]
