what you should do though, and this is my suggestion. hold the skirm, charge money for ity of you want that new gun, or looking to finiance some gear...... but do not try to hold a class on training without qualified instructors.

KA-BAR out


Yes, I did qual expert, with a score of 282 CMC and 291 KD fire course

I know I am not a formal trainer, and this is part of the reason for the low price, especially for a two day thing. I do however posses the knowledge of things listed in the original post, of tactical reloads, sight alignment, target acquisition, and all that jazz.

I am not doing this for the $$, as quite a bit of it will be re-invested in other classes to help your average airsofter with zero formal training. Again, I do realize I am not a fully qualified trainer, but what knowledge I do have that would be useful to the airsoft community I want to pass on.

Trust me when I say if these classes become popular, they will only get better, with better locations, better subjects, and better gear/props to use during.

You can pay a grand to go to bootcamp for a week, and not use a rifle or anything nifty, or these classes, which will stay cheap ;)

We will have 3 different ranges. One shall be a short range, another midrange, and another long range.

These have been adapted for airsoft.

A buddy and I might be able to make it if we can carpool and get the money. I'm interested in the class and the skirmish.

I'm interested in anything that will make me a better player! :) 15 to 20 is not asking for much at all! I'm in! The only problem I have is I only got 2 mags for my rifle.

Edit: I don't have an lbv either.
C'mon w/ it!

If I was going to be in town those days, I'd attend. As a Scout leader, I've seen a lot of guys in Ollie's age group lead training sessions on leadership and communications, and they often did better than men three times their age. While I don't know Ollie personally, I'd wager that his experience would help quite a bit when trying to teach skills to people his own age.

Just my $.02

Considering how little will actually apply to both real steel AND airsoft the age of the trainers really doesn't matter as long as they are motivated and you are attentive. Airsoft experience doesn't begin in the military. If you don't want to go, don't go and shit in a toilet or your boyfriend's mouth instead of this thread.

People who speak overly eloquently often don't get their point across properly.
You do.
Thank you.

To me this sounds like a basic PMI (Primary Markmanship Instruction), this is the same basic classes and events that all Army soldiers do prior to qualifying.

I am sure that Snak will be a fine teacher for those people needing some initial instruction as well as removing the dust from those older folks.
