Yeah Great day and the site is awesome, thanks for the bb's max and thanks for the Gas Scope. i knew id forgotten some thing this morning .

Anyway if you need a hand setting stuff up when you get going just give me a ring scope has my number.

I'll have Pictures up after I've had a shower (might take awhile i'll need to srink them and upload them "56k")

MaxForce

I want to thank Scope and his mate, and Eysonly along with his bro for showing up today. We had a most enjoyable day. Thanks lads.

As soon as I have more information on the site starting properly I will let ye all know.
Max.

ok i uploaded some pics , here just change 1 to 1-17. still have more on my mobile to come

Now these pictures dont do must justice to the sight as these are only of about a 1/4 of the whole site.

defenderdude

Looks great:)
do you have access to the forest areas also or is it just the open tape-marked area?

MaxForce

Thanks for the pics Eyes. They are great. The first few of the field, there is no access to the woods behind it. The other few of the track in between the woods and the forest I have access to the forest side but not to woods. We can use the ferns on the side of track. As Eyes said, there is so much more and a lot of it is over growen but there are great plans afoot for the site so watch this space.

EDIT: Got to say I love pic 17. Whose foot is that sticking up?

The site looks like it has huge potential best of luck maxforce hope it wont be long before I am down there to try it out

du beton

NakedDex

Sorry I couldn't make it, I tried my best to get a lift up there from Limerick (I even had my batteries charged just in case) but my last minute hope feill through. I will definitely be up for the next time though. It's too close to me not to be.

ScumLord

It wont be open for few weeks as I have to do a fair bit of clearing at the site. As soon as the site becomes ready for use will let you know.

Sorry Maxforce, didnt make .... almost though.
Got as far as Kilimer but got lost then, Had to turn back for Galway as
one very low fuel needle and one wallet left behind :mad: just didnt allow for any more searching.
Wouldn't mind but I probably past very close at some stage, weather wise it was a great day for it.
Will definetly be there for next meet, which reminds me must order some bb's.

Any suggestion on where to get some cheap camo and webbing.

nadir

ahh man I'll definately go to this, I'm living in Dublin bur from galway, I'm there usually twice a month at this stage...
This is pretty cool.

Kilimor was very close to it allright, we were a tad lost ourselves till we saw max's improvised signs, Flecktarn.co.uk are great for certain types of camo, a few of us are looking to buy some flecktarn of em soon.

Just got around to uploading the pics off my mobile. Here from 18-24

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

I contacted Gecko Tactical and they told they have no problem with me using G-TAC as long as I do not incorporate a reptile as part of my logo.

Hey Max, how are things going on the site in Galway.Any new pics ?

Maybe you cna show Harekin how to download updates to his garmin gps:p. He has had it for ages and the m50 from bray to the old m50 still doesnt show up on it.

Harekin

They dont support updates for mine anymore for some reason, thats why I aint been able to update it.

Loking foward to it, have ordered some camo and an assault vest hopefully have it with the week.
http://stores.ebay.ie/Valiant-Supplies some good British Surplus stuff if anyone is looking for some Soldier 95 DPM camo.

MaxForce

Hi All,
Will be out at the site this Sunday to start getting it ready. I have a pile of pallets and tyres ready to be moved into the play area and a fair bit of clearing to do. If anyone is free I would appreciate a hand and sure we might even get a chance for a bit of a shoot in the evening. Bring a hammer and a saw if have one:)

Will be there all next week and will have the first official shoot maybe on Friday but deffinetly on Saturday. No rentals available as of yet but am working on it.
Thanks lads,
Martin.

ok, silly question (and completely off-topic),but how do those co-ordinates relate to latitude/longitude (in degrees)

Boston

I'd imagine N = longitude and W = latitude, but thats a guess.

I am not a map expert but they are what Google Earth throw up when I click on the place mark.
53 Degrees 08' Minuets 56.03" North 8 Degrees 09' Minuets 23.25" West. I havnt a clue what the 56.03 and the 23.25 are.

yea, was just wondering why maemo mapper kept directing me to lithuania, figured it out now i think

this page gives you lat/long co-ordinates for any position on a google map, the co-ordinates for hrta2 can be written as both
Latitude = 53.5385, Longitude = -6.2508
and:
Lat = 53 degrees, 32.3 minutes North
Long = 6 degrees, 15.0 minutes West

difference being the first is decimal, the second is done via minutes/seconds, so it's an easy enough conversion

MaxForce

I wont be on site on Monday but will be tomorrow as well as Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday and Friday. Will be there from around 11am tomorow morning.

Not a bother. Will be there all week.:D

The first meeting for G-TAC will be on Saturday 27th. Entry fee will be €25 for a full day and €15 for half day. Half day will be from 1pm on. Registration will be from 9:30 to ten with a break from 1 to 2. 16-18 yo will be accepted only with parental consent in the form of a signed letter, verifiable by phone call. All players will be requested to sign a Waiver of Liability Form Befor been allowed to play. It is recommended for all players to wear full facial protection and all players are required to wear eye protection while in the play zone. Please follow all safety requirements and rules of the site that will be conveyed on the day. I would hope to have pictures of the location up when I have most of the work done during the week. Unfortunately there will be no rentals or ammunition available for this meeting but I am hoping to have some in the coming weeks. Make sure you bring provisions as facilities are limited at the site, but there is a shop a short car ride away. Make sure your batteries are charged as for the moment there will be no charging facility. If anyone has any questions please do not hesitate to contact me by PM. Martin
