Ricochet Tactical — Local services in Town of Hempstead

We’ve all tried airsoft at some point, but if you haven’t yet, you’re probably here to see if this place is right for you. Whether you’re experienced or new to the game, Ricochet Tactical has you covered.

For the Parents: If you’re a parent reading this and concerned about sending your kid to airsoft for the first time, look no further! There aren’t many options on Long Island, but this one is definitely kid-friendly and great for parties. Unlike other places that throw your 10-year-old’s group into a “warzone” with “psycho teenagers,” at Ricochet Tactical, party groups get their own time on the field to play with their friends and actually have fun! There’s also an on-site food court, so you can easily order pizzas and drinks for your party.

For the Experienced Airsofters: To all the seasoned airsofters tired of being thrown into games with 100+ people and no real objectives except to shoot each other, Ricochet Tactical is for you too! Today, for the first time in a long time, I enjoyed friendly battles with smaller groups. You can actually play objective-based games and declare an actual winner, instead of getting shot 10 times after calling your hit. We all know how annoying that is—and how frustrating it is when someone else doesn’t call their hit. The chaos of other Long Island fields doesn’t happen here. You also won’t encounter staff with personal vendettas or teammates who ruin the experience. Ricochet Tactical pushes you to be a better airsofter and allows you to build your skills instead of running into rooms packed with 50 people and coming home with welts that last for weeks.

Conclusion: Airsoft is supposed to be fun, so let’s put the “fun” back into it. If you think you’re the best, bring your team to Ricochet Tactical and see who’s really on top. Be different—don’t just follow the crowd to the other fields on Long Island. Challenge each other! Sessions run from three to eight hours, and you can host private events with friends without worrying about that one “jarhead” kid who grew up behind an Xbox...

Came here to try a new field a few weeks ago... First off the good.. The staff here are hands down amazing, really friendly and helpful. They take the extra precaution to make sure you play and even charge your batteries simultaneously loan you a battery to use if you are low. Customer service was great and they really made sure your satisfied. The time organization was top notch and game rotations were quick. The pro shop while is small but very friendly. They chrono your gun every time before you get on the field to ensure no one is shooting hot. The fps limit is 350 if I remember correctly. The area is clean and I didn't have the feeling like my stuff would be stolen if I had brought equipment. They sell cold drinks at a very fair and realistic price, hence $1 cold water with options of Gatorade and so on.

Now the bad.. I took a star off because their rental guns are terrible, I mean seriously terrible lol. Either it doesn't have bbs, or it randomly stops shooting and jams. Played 2-3 games and spent half the time walking out to see if I can grab a working gun, after 3-4 attempts in 1 game I gave up. But for the price point you can't really complain, gives you a good insight of airsoft as a beginner.

The field is pretty dark so that's a preference if you like dark fields or not. It was hard to see who was and wasn't on your team. If you have a flash light attachment then in my opinion you would have some sort of an advantage, again personal opinion. personally I wouldn't mind it just a bit brighter.

My gun shoots hot so I doubt I'll be able to use it there, other wise that's the only thing stopping me from going back. I wouldn't mind going back but the though of possibly using a rental scares me. All in all I like the field and the staff...

I started airsoft here a year ago and I’ve been playing here about once every month since. I’m happy to call this place my home field. Yes, this field is quite small and can be a bit dull compared to the larger field on Long Island (you know which one), but the playerbase here is consistently friendly and good-sported. The refs do their job right and you don’t get the vibe that they don’t want to be here like in other fields. The field owner, co-owner, and refs are always around talking to players so you really get to know who’s running this place. As for the pro shop, pricing is very fair. Shaq is willing to match the price of any competitor and is very straightforward and honest with you. I asked him to repair my AEG one time thinking something was wrong, and he assured me that as much as he wanted to take my money, there was nothing wrong with it. If you want to get into airsoft I’d say this is the perfect...
