Hill Air Force Base waivers must be signed before leaving the staging area. These are not BTA waivers. When you get to the staging area, ask for a waiver, get it signed and turned into the BTA Command/Staff as soon as possible.
While on the base and field, you will be interacting with our Air Force hosts. Feel free to talk to them! Many of them have extensive experience and can answer questions you have about the United States Air Force. Please refer to them as sir, ma'am, or by their military rank. If you do not recognize the military rank structure sir or ma'am will do, until they tell you otherwise. Please thank them for this opportunity and be respectful.
Out of respect for the airmen of Hill Air Force Base, please remove all real U.S. or Foreign military rank, qualification badges, or other types of awards on your airsoft uniform. You will be around real airmen that have worked very hard to earn the right to wear these. In addition, there are military rules that cover the proper wearing and display of uniforms. Acceptable patches; American Flags (worn properly), Airsoft Team Patches, “Call-Sign” Nametapes, Blood-Type, & Some Morale Patches (No disrespectful, rude, lewd, discriminatory, or objectionable morale patches). We do not want to offend our hosts.
There will be down time at the staging area before we leave the field. Be mindful, it is a privilege to play at this facility and it takes time to coordinate this huge effort. Be patient!
At the staging area before we leave the field, keep all airsoft weapons in cars and out of sight. Weapon cases are mandatory, if you do not have cases transport your weapons in a box, duffle bag, etc…
You will need to ‘carpool’ in order to have as few vehicles as possible at the field. You will need to pack all your gear to be transferred from your vehicle to another. Be prepared and plan for this, pack light and portable. There is lots of room to play but limited parking at the field. No vehicles with one person will be allowed.
Everyone must be escorted from the base to the field and back to the base. Once you are at the field, you do not leave without an escort, period! If you try to leave without an escort, you are putting yourself at risk. Be prepared for an all day airsoft event. If you cannot stay for the duration of the event, please do not plan on attending.
Everyone attending must bring enough water and food to sustain yourself for a day of hard airsofting. If you do not bring water and food you will not be allowed to participate.
Everyone attending a BTA airsoft event must wear ANSI Z87.1 standard eye protection AT ALL TIMES. If you only have dark lenses, goggles, or a mesh/lensed mask, etc… you must have a pair of clear safety glasses as well for between games and dark areas. If your eye protection or its packaging was not labeled “ANSI Z87.1 standard” then it is not acceptable.
United States Air Force & Hill Air Force Base advises being mindful of;
Wildlife. Tarantulas, Scorpions, Bobcats, Mountain Lions, etc.. No shooting at wildlife!
Absolutely no weapons of any kind! (“Real Steel” Firearms, Knives, Swords, Bows, Paintball Markers, etc…)

Cigarette Smokers, there will be one designated smoking area. Do not smoke anywhere else on the field. DO NOT THROW YOUR BUTTS ON THE GROUND! YOU WILL DISPOSE OF YOUR OWN CIGARETTE BUTTS!
Do not leave any trash on the ground during, between, and after the games. We are all responsible for cleaning up the game site. After the games are over everyone must participate in the clean up! No exceptions!
Non-BTA guests are required to sign the BTA-Waiver, all of our guest teams and players are required to know and abide by our Field and Safety Rules, ROE (Rules of Engagement), and COC (Code of Conduct). Please go to our Waiver/Rules page and read these forms before attending.
At Hill Air Force Base BTA will plays warm-up ‘death matches’ and tries to plan on shorter battles in order to keep the pace up and have more experiences. If you or your team do not want to participate in these kinds of smaller scale skirmishes or plan to sit them out, please do not plan on attending. Your invitation could have gone to someone else.
Sitting out games to take photographs or video is acceptable. Anyone taking photographs or video must wear at least a “blaze orange” hunting vest. Additionally a “Blaze orange” hat, gloves and a bandana to wave from behind cover are strongly recommended!
Bear in mind that you will be playing on a United States military installation; If you choose to break the law in any way (eg. theft, vandalism, violence, drugs, driving violations, etc…) you will be subject to the full extent of the law.
Black Thorn Airsoft is thankful to have access to Hill Air Force Base! We are very privileged to have this opportunity! We enjoy sharing this opportunity with other airsoft players and teams. Any BTA-Member, Guest, Guest Team Member, or Guest Team who violates any of the BTA/Hill Air Force Base/United States Air Force Rules can be removed from the base and banned from future events.
