Up here in da U.P., eh?

[Tony]

Is there anyone in the Houghton area that plays AirSoft? I'm new to this and a few of my friends and I are in this and we don't know anyone else who does this. So if you do play and you live in the Houghton area, PM me.

Here are two players that I can name offhand which live in the general Houghton vicinity and may or may not be able to assist in your airsoft enjoyment (that is, if you've not already done this yourself)

Hey Tony. I don't live in the U.P. but I go to school at NMU in Marquette during the fall and winter. I also have a few friends (all of who go up there for college) that are just getting into airsoft this summer and plan on playing in the fall. Maybe we could get some games going this school year.

Hmm a UP thread that I didn't see;) As far as NMU I live in Harvey at the moment, so I'm a whole 5 miles from campus, so feel free to get ahold of me. We play in channing(60 miles away) about 2-4 times a month. As far as the trip it's not much issue as we car pool down. Normal group of players anywhere between 5-8, though it can vary.

On the Houghton deal there were some guys that played up that way though I was never able to get ahold of them almost a year ago. LKAirsoft, though as I said, no luck here. If your willing to do some driving though we're here to get some game. I don't have any good places in the Marquette area at the moment though which is disappointing, though we have a couple players who drive from Escanaba already so we're spread out. Give me a PM if you'd like to get together with us.

Hey, I've got a couple players up here in Houghton that would love to find a couple more air-softers. Let me know if you are interested. We have a couple AEG's and some gas guns, none are upgraded, and we have a couple springers too.

[destrukto]

I must be blind that I didn't see this thread before. I am currently in the Marquette area (attending NMU) .

One of our group will be attending Finlandia in the winter semester and I'll let him know that there's another group of airsofters up there

And a note for those attending NMU - I have just recently submitted forms for an airsoft/paintball club and I am awaiting final confirmation of the paperwork (and I hate paperwork )

[saltinesultan]

I got to school at MTU and want to get a couple more rounds in before the snow falls. If anyone wants to contact me send email to [e-mail] or AIM me. My screen name is saltinesultan.

[destrukto]

I'll keep you posted of events in our area in case you're interested in attending. We do more or less play all year round regardless of weather (which includes but is not limited to snow, rain, extreme temperatures, and the rare bout of sunshine on the weekends in the winter )

[manoverboard]

Hey destrukto, keep me posted too. A few of my friends and I go to Northern and we've played airsoft only once so far this year, up near Big Bay.

[destrukto]

I just got confirmation of the paperwork for the airsoft club the other day, so you can expect our first meeting sometime in the next few weeks, among the topics going to be discussed is a playing field in the Marquette area, otherwise we end up going to Channing (about an hour out of Marquette)

Hope to see you at the meeting, I'm just kind of curious as to what kind of people are going to show up

[luke213]

Umm:) Meeting where and who's invited;) Since that might be information that would be usefull to those of us who care and seem to be out of the loop.

I just reserved the room today for our meeting.

The meeting will be 7pm on Friday October 15th in the Marquette Room at the University Center at NMU for anyone that cares to come, the more the merrier (it's a big room )

Should be in the student announcements sometime this week for those going to NMU

[trauby]

I would try to make the meeting but work conflicts with that schedule. Maybe someone from my team "might" make it but outlook not so good . I hope you guys get a lot of peoples' interest into the sport and/or at least make aware how many people in the U.P. play.


This is unrelated to the topic on hand but I figured I'd throw you a bit of news...

One of the closest LP teams to the Uppers is MTASC. I'm sure if you guys want to get a game going with them on certain sundays, they'll play. Heck my team that I'm apart of, SBD, and MTASC will be playing this sunday (Oct. 10) and its open to everyone if you are interested. I do believe you have to be 18 or older though (don't take my word for it). Just give "devildog" a holler and he'll throw you some directions.

[destrukto]

It should be an interesting meeting, I just got notice that I'll have a projector and speakers available so I can show some airsoft movies and my airsoft powerpoint presentation. If you can't make it that's fine, I have absolutely no idea how many people are going to show up anyways.

[manoverboard]

Sounds good destruckto, I'll be coming to the meeting, and bringing a couple of my friends with me.
