Awsome place to visit. one of the best airsoft erenas. run by top people. always a brilliant day. – Jamie Bevan

Went today and all I can say is a extremely professional setup. Both in the hut and out on the field, if your after a fast paced game we’ll say no more. All the team are dedicated and make sure everyone is safe and enjoy the game, age well all I can say is if your up for it give it a try you won’t be disappointed . – Michael Murray

absolutely brilliant day. was so well thought out and run by the organisers. you can really tell they play themselves and know what’s good. the perk system is a great idea and the push back final game 👏. well balanced teams, no stresses from anywhere. Great day, we will definitely be back time and time again. – Lewis Gunter

First visit to Proving Grounds and I have to say it’s an absolute awesome site.I loved the set up of the whole day, being able to break when you want with rolling objectives throughout the day so you are always on the move in different areas of the map.Very easy to understand what the next objective is as these are timed and the Marshals keep the gameplay flowing.Overall great site, loved the format of the gameplay and the marshals and fellow players made it a fantastic day.Will definitely be returning soon. – Mark Gray

I would like to thank all the staff and players for making my first ever airsoft day brilliant .the help and support given made it so easy for myself and my son . – Graham Jefferys

Excellent site the constant gameplay really made it a great day big thanks to all the staff and marshals – Elliott Rossini

I’ve played at Proving Grounds on a number of occasions and its an amazing site, we have started using this as our main site and bringing more and more guys to it. The rolling game play is great as there isn’t any long breaks between games which makes the day run smooth.Well done guys keep it up. – Bryan Maddison

The staff have clearly taken time to design their game days from a players perspective. The latitude is unique at Proving Grounds, unlike anywhere I’ve played before, but that’s entirely positive. The game area has been well surveyed, to provide a variety of differing game scenarios which players can follow or cherry pick throughout the course of their open game day. I’ll continue going as the large team numbers make the game days pretty awesome. – Steve Smith

My first time to Proving Grounds and WOW, what a site it is. Absolutely amazing day of shooting, glad the rain held off too. 10/10 🙌🏼but next time I’ll take Monday off work as my legs are feeling it 😂Ryan Nightingale

An amazing site run by a fantastic team. Halo Mill provide an almost battlesim style event that has continously rolling objectives that keep the adrenaline running all day. With no fixed breaks means you generally need to carry a lot more kit with you than most sites, but at the same time they don’t force you to participate in every objective. The most important rule on site is that you play the game you want to play. – David Sullivan

great day everyone was friendly and helpful – Ben Lee Holdsworth

had a really great day. the site is very well set up, providing lots of different playing areas and experiences. I will definitely visit again. it’s a pity it’s only once a month. – Malgorzata Cieslik

Polite staff friendly players nice setup and game area – Jake Bridge

First time playing Halo on the 7th… great day and a cracking site! Definitely will need to make the trip again! – DeNiall ‘Sid’ Grant

Brilliant site, great staff, great facilities. Toilets are porta loos but otherwise can’t fault the place. Wholeheartedly recommended. Amazing fun. – Dan Beresford

Great Site! New to airsoft and this site is amazing everyone is so friendly and helpful. – Danny Roberts

Really good day at proving grounds first time there for me my son and team mate Christian we all enjoyed it got better as day progressed even though the numbers dropped in second half. Only gripe really was game play could of been bit better no major issues apart from the mozzies were fookin massive and annoying didn’t get bit once though never do. Would defo go again gona try get our team there next time – Lee Hanvey

Amazing site will definitely come again and hopefully not end up on a farm by mistake lol – Shaun Morris

Good site to play on with friends – Noman Ilyas

Fantastic site and fantastic game play. 6 hours constant play. Come and go as you please (really need today as it was very hot) – Michael Cowan

Superb arena! Well run but people who know exactly what they are doing. Great events! – Jake Winters

Awesome day, was my first game in 4-5 years and definitely got me back into it, loved every second. Few issues with rental gun but fixed immediately and replaced, great marshals giving you few hints and tips on capture point location, time, quick change of the hop ect ect, everyone I shot took there hit so can’t complain. End game with fireworks was just crazy something out of a film �� great day if I get invited down again I’d jump at the chance ( I don’t drive so Bradford to the site is a fair journey) – Ethan Dooley

Great Guy’s – Danny Aldred

Absolute epic day today. First time playing here and will def be back. Had a great day felt looked after by the Marshalls good banter never heard Pyro so loud in my life and the fireworks topped it off . Great site good people good Airsoft #teamheist we came we saw we stole – Jake Cowan

Excellent 5 star, if i could give it more stars i would. Site is brilliant, with a friendly atmosphere and great facility’s. If Carlsberg did Airsoft sites this would be it. Cheers guys for having us. – Thomas Bullseye Tucker

Having visited the site for the very first time on the 6th August, I have to say, it was one of my enjoyable experiences compared to all other woodland sites. The marshals we’re professional and friendly, all the players were taking their hits, you have the flexibility to have a break or lunch whenever you want, the language is a strict certificate 12Aish and the games are very well structured. It’s a shame I didn’t get any action photo-shots during gameplay. Maybe because it’s my own fault for being a well hidden ninja. LOL! But anyway, If you haven’t played @ Halo Mill – Proving Grounds before, I’d recommend you give it a try. It’ll definitely bring a smile on your face. 🙂Chris Topher

Came along to my first airsoft weekend at the YPC. Some mates have been going for a year or so and finally my diary fitted. The site is huge, the game full on and non stop. The staffing and marshalling was great and the sportsmanship of the players a refreshing change in cynical times, Site weapon was fine and overall I had a great time. This 51 year old was 10 again playing army in the woods. Loved it – Nathan Jackson

Well second time ive been to this site and its got to be the best site and day ive had at airsoft yet all the staff and marshalls are very helpfull and keep the day flowing well food there is always been good tooCant wait for the next one – Simon Terry

My first time ever airsofting – it has got me truly hooked, even with my weapon dying 4 times, the staff were always friendly and everyone was a good laugh. Already recommended – Joseph Clark

It has been the second time i have been and was a great time everyone doesn’t hesitate to answer any questions and gameplay is fantastic – Adam Hutchinson

It’s just perfect! 1st game today at this site and it was brilliant. The staff were helpful and all the players where friendly and approachable. The site has a great range of obstacles and the day flows well the way it is set out. For anyone looking to give airsoft a go you’ll have a great day there. – Stuart Hughes

Had a fantastic day , very well organized ,will be back 🙂Karl Holland

Another fantastic day! Great marshalling as per usual. Looking forward to the next game!!!! – Aaron Cook

Had a really intense day out here for my first ever session will be back next month that’s for sure.. would recommend – Jordan Metcalfe

Excellent site, the game type these guys run is the magic mix of milsim style all day play and standard skirmish rules for kit. Never had a bad time with these guys and iv been a fair few times now and will continue. Great site great staff great games great pew pew. – Paul Duffy

Sunday 4th was my first game at proving grounds and won’t be my last. It was an awesome adrenaline fun filled day used my own gun but when it went wonky (technical term) they gave me a rental and it was as if it had not been used ever couldn’t have asked for a better run day – love the game play when I remembered about the map lol 🙂 nice and relaxing and awesome all round the RubberDuckys will float there again Oh and shout to the guy who didn’t pepper me in the trench and a thanks to the guy who also shot me in the crotch (the mrs is after) Kind regards ChubbyDuckling – Matthew J Slack

What a fantastic place to go, great marshals no moody play just great fun – Dawn Goodings

A big open site with lots of missions to go at plenty of tactics to think about not one scenario is the same ace battles and ace objectives helpful marshals absolutely fantastic day – Stephen Hirst

Had a blast today, rather knackered now and ready for bed haha great banter and nice marshals 🙂 hope to come again – Paul Craig Whiteley

First I feel I need to apologize I don’t know why this has taken me 6 months to do but after today’s game I felt you guys deserved it Honestly this is the best game site I’ve played and I keep going every month it’s awesome down to the staff who run the place to the players who come every month I’ve met so many people here and joined two groups steady they helped me get started and shown me the way(shout out to brotherhood of real steal(Bors) and bowl town cartel) today’s game was the best game I’ve ever played (July 9th) even tho my own gun broke half way through the day it didn’t even damper my mood the day was that good. From the ever changing field (today was like running around a jungle) the marshals rubing the games and the safe zone all spot on can’t fault it If you have not played here yet get on it best day out everThanks again guys see you next month – Luke Scaife

Best place around – not too frequently run to make it boring and different every time! The only slight issue is parking – people who park on the inside of the area get stuck by people who park in front which could be fixed by a few cones and markings. – Adam Woodall

Absolutely great site! First time visiting here but I’m already looking forward to my next visit in a month �Gameplay was constant and well managed by marshalls who are spot on � Facilities also brilliant too, not a single to faultWell deserved ����� – James Myhowycz

Amazing place with great staff. The unique way it’s a constant day rather than stop start games is a nice change. Can’t wait to go again. – Daniel Waddington

Great site and great marshalling, I’ve not had a bad game here since I’ve started playing! Excellent all round 🙂Alistair Watkinson

It could do with a no-entry perimeter around spawn sites but that aside it’s an awesome location/venue for airsoft!Thoroughly enjoyed it! – David Burns-Keane

Geat day! normally play at halo mill every Sunday but me and the lads fancied somthing different and just got to say what a well put together event! The grounds it self is are quality and having the mortar coming down made it feel a real! � Will defo be returning! Thanks for the experience! – Jacob Kelly

Had a brilliant day, really good turn out and easily one of the best outdoor sites in the uk. It was a great idea to have a set break time as it meant I didn’t miss any gameplay. Some awesome prizes and goody bags provided by asg would highly recommend this site to anyone – Andy Kelly

Just got home from my first experience here and wanted to say it’s brilliant, great site really well ran from the Patrol Base team and the all day game is a lot of fun, the only thing I would change is putting a lunch break in for everyone at the same time but that’s just me. Keep up the good work guys and I will be coming back soon. – Mark Fitzgerald

One of the best sites I’ve been to in a long time, had a great day and the staff were excellent. Definitely be going again – Sam Tennant

Superb day at the proving grounds again, loved every minute. Top notch game play, cracking site, and the staff/Marshall’s were spot on. Just a shame when the day comes to an end really!! 🙂Paul Netherwood

Absolutely fantastic I usually prefer all out battles. But the milsim aspect worked great one big all day battle with set objectives at certain times which kept everything running and choosing your own breaks very impressed – Gary Price

My first outdoor game (Aug 23rd) and it was brilliant – even when I lost my pistol and 2 mags a marshall walked round the site with me and helped me find everything I’d dropped! A great day out with lots of varying objectives throughout the day. – Peter Boyd

What another amaizing day. Absolutely wicked 🙂Greg Forward
