Starting a business

Hi I am looking to start a small business up in Muskoka. and I mean small.
We have about 118 achres of woods with grassy open sections in the throughout. We also have many trails going through the wodds with one that is big enouch to drive our 2 atv's thorugh. I am just wondering what guns you would recomend. i want something very cheap but reliable. I dont want anything that shoots much more than 3oo fps. If there are noobs just trying the sport i dont want to scare them away. I have already had lots of friends and even stranger asking to come play with my collection of about 10 canadian tire guns and my own glock18c but i need better quality. I am Lookng for something Not tooo big and under the $400 price range. Also should i go with a theme like S.a.s vs spetsnaz or just have everything the same.

And what are some must have obstacles in a good airsoft field.

and final thing. what are the legal requirements for running an airsoft field. It is all private property. I thimk since i can shoot 12 gauges and m1 grands there we should be able to use airsoft guns. Thanx for the help. it is greatly appreciated

for guns in that range, JG would bee your best bet. check out: http://www.shootsoft.ca/store/
That being said, JG will be shooting around 350ish outta the box, so i would look out for that. JG guns are good, but you might have to replace some parts over time. furthermore, there is an 18+ rule to play airsoft. as for obstavcles, just build some bunkers, piles of garbage and broken down cars are always fun. if you really want to go all out, you can dig yourself a mini trench, or at least a defendable depression in the ground. i hope it all works out. FYI, i think there might be certain laws against starting up an airsoft field. Airsoft is NOT like paintball. there are different legality issues.

Consider actually playing before you sink any money in this...

Also it might be wise to consider looking into insurance, its not overly difficult but can be a lengthy processes, its not as if one can walk into a brokerage and ask for a paintball/airsoft insurance. You'll have to approach a brokerage and ask them to help you apply to one of the few companys in Canada that handle coverage for such sports like paintball and airsoft.

I would say, go for aiming paintball, then go for airsoft. Paintball is more acceptable among people. As for airsoft, you cant really sell guns since Im sure ur 99.99% without Firearm Business License. So start with paintball.

paintball is more costly to run. I am very experienced in paintball and i know how to fix just about any gun but it costs so much. and i dont know where to purchase an air compressor or how much they cost.

Also where is that airsoft field in muskoka. I should go check it out. I am located on lake rosseau near clevelands house
