Forget Paintball! Go for Airsoft
within Matlock Woodland

The Matlock Woodland site is just outside Matlock, off the A632 Chesterfield Road. The site is a natural wood. It has a lot of varying terrain and lots of ground cover, perfect for airsoft. Our open days are on Saturdays and anyone is welcome from beginners to vets. We aim to have a great laugh and some quality airsofting.

We vary our gaming format but try to have a running theme with interlinking missions to give you a military simulation feel. We serve lunch on site at £5 for our meal deal, which consists of a huge fresh burger with toppings, any drink, choc bar and a packet of crisps. We sell hot drinks throughout the day at 50p each.

Airsoft as we know it is a combat sport that originated in Japan in the early 1980's as the Japanese answer to the American craze of Paintball.

Airsoft guns fire 6mm plastic pellets (or BBs) at relatively low speeds (between 100 and 328 feet per second or 30 to 97 meters per second), fast enough to feel, but slow enough not to hurt. Airsoft guns look like the real thing but cannot be converted to fire live ammunition, it is a toy and is classed as one!

Airsoft as we know it originated in Japan in the early 1980's as the Japanese answer to the American craze of Paintball. Whilst the first airsoft guns were probably made in the US, it was not until Tokyo Marui started putting their electrically powered gearbox into their static replicas that airsoft as we know it developed. Across Japan, South East Asia, North America and Europe there are thousands of players who put on their combats, heave on their webbing and grab their rifles each weekend.

Airsoft Skirmishing – Firstly, its great fun, no matter what age, gender or size you are. It is primarily a team sport, although games such as last man standing and rifles versus pistols are great fun. Players quickly learn that proper planning prevents poor performance and an early walk back to the safe zone. Some scenarios may seem familiar to those who have played Paintball but the addition of full automatic capability and longer range add new dimensions. Its not paintball, is far better than that!
