If you haven't played airsoft yet, you're missing out. If you haven't played airsoft at Allstarr Action Sports yet, you are DEFINITELY missing out. We are a large community/team of friends (approx. 300+ on our facebook page) who play airsoft at this field and we consider Allstarr Action Sports our second home. The field is smaller than most outdoor fields but it makes for some excellent fast paced gameplay with lots of tactics. The field is balanced well, with neither side being at a significant advantage over the other (although there are some key buildings that are good to hold onto objectives-wise), and there is also a wooded area off to the side that can result in some excellent flanking routes. The players who frequent this location are friendly and know each other, and many people make new friends just by coming to this place regularly. There are people who drive down to Allstarr from MAINE just to get some games in at this place.
Some indoor places can get hot and sweaty with too much overshooting/competitiveness/cheating/speedsofting/etc. There's almost none of that here, with most players being very courteous, and hit-calling issues being very rare. The owners treat everyone like family and John and Doug personally come out and ask people if they are having a good time. They will go out of their way to accommodate specific requests. The refs (Ian, Jack, and others) are also very friendly and enforce the rules in a firm but nice manner. Many kids come here to have birthday parties and the veteran players will go up to them and help them with their rental equipment, give them tips, guide them on the field, treat them like real squad mates, etc.
Allstarr also has many excellent airsoft guns for sale and their prices are very reasonable. They also offer upgrade and repair services. Their field has paintball/splatball offerings as well. We are always growing and looking to recruit respectful and enthusiastic players. We hope to see you at Allstarr in the near...
   Read moreI had good experiences with the staff overall and my party had a good time overall. However, communication was an issue. For a few weeks, their phone didn't even work. The website is hard to find info on and it's unclear in places. When I reserved a "party" appointment for 10 people, I assumed it was a private party. There was no indication anywhere that this was merely a discount for a group. Fortunately, I went to the place to check it out in advance of our date, so I found out we'd be playing with the general community on our scheduled day. We had to adjust our expectations but it was OK - mostly. The other problem we had was that, despite being told they had an excellent community, there were a few profoundly toxic players in loads of personal gear who just cheated over and over - to the point that it soured our experience of both the location and the hobby as a whole. I think it would be better if the games had either only players using rented gear or only players with their own gear. That wouldn't necessarily balance the skill issue (and that's fine - playing against skilled people is a good way to learn), but it would balance the play...
   Read moreThis may be the very best place to play airsoft/paintball in Massachusetts! It's a smaller field, more like a very large indoor field that's been placed outdoors, but wow they really know how to pack in the fun! Also this is by far the best place to choose for beginners to play. Whether you're just getting into airsoft for the first time and you want to try a real game, getting back into it after being gone for a few years, or trying to get a friend of yours into it and show them how awesome it is, Advanced is going to show everyone a great time and a fun day. The owner is one of the nicest guys around and really goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time. They have a lot of comforts as well that I'm not used to from when I played 10 years ago such as a store with supplies and snacks/cold drinks, awnings and tables to get set up and be shielded from the sun while you do so, and pizza/burger orders for lunch/dinner. Just get there early in the morning or buy tickets only because they are BUSY...
