Foam-Tipped Fury

new Nerf gun arena hosts grand-opening battle

Sammy Gibbons |

Ready your (harmless) weapons! The grand opening event of Eau Claire’s newest battlefront, Darts On Demand, is coming up on Aug. 6. Nerf wars will begin every half hour during the noon-to-4pm celebration, and anyone ages eight and older is welcome to battle for glory. All competitors will need are their socks: You can’t bring your own Nerf guns, foam bullets, or even cash, because the rumble is FREE! More than 100 gun options will be available, and more than 3,000 foam bullets will fly through the air. Each battle will have as many as 40 warriors raging and equipped with top-of-the-line gear. The space is located in the gym below Crass Trained Weigh-In Club, 1903 Keith St., which is safely built with cushioned floors and walls. Fighters must also wear protective glasses and are required to fill out a waiver before arriving at the armory. The newly opened arena of combat is ready for all group gatherings and offers price deals for birthday parties, corporate bonding get-togethers, and any group of up to 10 people who are ready to blast foam bullets at each other. They can even come to business places for those days where co-workers need to let out their frustrations on one another. Forget waiting for the next city-wide Nerf war to flare up; at Darts On Demand you can battle whenever your nerdy Nerf-loving heart desires.
