Steele's Birthday Battle

By Creg

Scared Yet?

The Magnificent Seven

Steele had a late birthday celebration with 6 friends playing several games of capture the flag; air-soft style. Air-soft is a style of weapon that shoots 6-mm plastic BB's from realistic looking guns. The BB's can travel up to 250 ft. when fired from a higher caliber rifle. And yes, you actually try to shoot your opponent.

After dividing up into two teams, each team chose a base station down in a ravine on our property, with the tree-house being in the middle of the battle zone.

When the game started each team advanced to the middle zone looking for a hidden flag and trying to avoid being shot. When the flag was found you had to make your way back to base with the flag to secure victory.

They played quite a few versions of capture the flag in 3 hours and then feasted on chili dogs.
