Look up Fightertown Paintball or Fort Adobe Paintball. They have airsoft every weekend and Fightertown has some of the best fields I've seen. You could go on the field in between games and do all your sighting in. Theirs also the Hatfield games. Those are free. Hope that helped.

Welcome to AZ. Depending on how well you know your own weapon system, you could just go to a game and in the time before the scenario starts, sight in at the field. Unless you're running a highly upgraded sniper weapon system, you won't need more than 5 or 10 minutes to sight in.

This is of course, assuming your weapon system is properly shimmed and has good compression, air seal, and a properly seated bucking. I always tune my weapons in the minutes / hour right before a game starts, because I always disassemble and clean them the day before. This invalidates the dope chart and I have to re dial it in.

Hatfield/Fort Adobe/Fightertown
Harmful heat in my hugs hide,My lips are laced with cyanide
Never mind my medicine breath,Come hither for a kiss of Death...
Where there once were feely fingers, Now protrude poisonous stingers
Feel I'm left with no recourse,But to kill her with no remorse
