ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

 

BTA is beginning to move away from Facebook!!!

 

After an exhausting search we have settled on MeWe.

 

MeWe offers us very similar features that we've been using on Facebook…

 

● Personal profiles.

● Pages and groups.

● Photos.

● Events.

 

Plus...

● No third-party ads.

● No censorship... except for illegal things.

 

BTA will require members to use their actual first & last names. If anyone asks to join the BTA MeWe group using a false name, YOU WILL NOT BE APPROVED TO JOIN! If we find a member already joined with a false name, YOU WILL BE DELETED!

 

Find BTA on MeWe here... https://mewe.com/join/blackthornairsoftbta

If MeWe works well… we will immediately launch our “BUY/SELL/TRADE” group and allow airsoft replica sales!

2013 Year in Review

2013 Year in Review

2013 was another banner year for BTA!

Some highlights…

Welcome to all the new BTA-Team members recruited this past year!

*

BTA was proud to attend some of the largest attended co-op games in Utah! As always during the peak season/warmer months, the BTA “open” club hosted some of the largest games in the state! We continue to see a variety of players from members, regulars, and a steady stream of newcomers, to visiting teams and many individuals looking for games when their own team is not scheduling!

*

BTA nearly hosted/attended ops every single week of 2013! We only missed it by one day, when a game was cancelled due to sub-zero temperatures and severely bad air quality reports!

During the warmer seasons of 2013 BTA hosted one or more night-games each month!

*

BTA scouted and introduced a few new quality public use AOs!

*

Sadly a few more Utah airsofting AOs were lost again this year, some due to legal recreational zoning changes… one particular favorite AO was lost due to negligent “development” on public use land!

*

Thanks to the BTA Command and Support Staff as well as the BTA-Team, for all of their hard work and dedication! Thanks to Donny & Hammer for stepping up and helping out hosting ops! More thanks to all the team members who continuously help things run smoothly.

*

As always super special thanks to all of you… the regulars, friends, visitors, and ever present new players!

You all make BTA the greatest airsoft club!

Sincerely,

BTA - Black Thorn Airsoft

Hic Pro Pugna!

Seasonal Time Update

 

It is that time of year, when BTA rolls back our operation start times in order to beat the heat!

 

Starting earlier means maximizing the cooler morning hours for game-time.

 

This means the meet-up-times have been bumped back as well.

 

See event posts for details!

 

So get your Zs and be there on time bright and early ready to do battle!

2012 – YEAR IN REVIEW

2012 – YEAR IN REVIEW

 

2012 Year in Review

 

2012 was another great year for BTA!

 

A few highlights to remember…

 

The BTA-Team began hosting monthly “closed” team-only games. Using our own U.S.A.F. connected members; we began using the Hill AFB paintball field and once again began helping our friends at Camp Williams with “training”.

*

Welcome to all the new BTA-Team members recruited this past year!

*

As always the BTA “open” club continued to regularly attract the largest attendance around! We see a variety of players from members, regulars, and a steady stream of newcomers, to visiting teams and many individuals looking for games when their own team is not scheduling!

*

For the second consecutive year BTA hosted/attended ops every… …single… …week of 2012!

In the Spring, Summer, and early Fall of 2012 BTA managed to host at least one night-game a month!

With no major holidays on Saturdays this coming year, it’s looking like we can do it again in 2013!

*

While BTA hasn’t introduced any new AOs this year, we have

reintroduced long unused AOs like “The Fields” and “Lake Shore”!

*

On a sad note, the Utah airsofting communities have lost a few AOs due to the excessive wildfires in 2012. Additionally, BTA lost a great field we introduced last year. The company that owns the “The Mine” has changed hands and the new owner was not interested in our request to play there.

*

As always… thanks to the BTA Command and Support Staff as well as the BTA-Team, for all of their hard work and dedication!
*
Thanks to Iceman, Valkyrie, and Cowboy for stepping up and helping out hosting ops! More thanks to all the team members who continuously help things run smoothly.

*

Special thanks to all of you… the members, regulars, friends, visitors, and ever growing new players!

 

You all make BTA the greatest airsoft club!

 

Sincerely,

BTA - Black Thorn Airsoft
