We will continue with dynamic range exercises in spotting, identifying targets and engaging them in the woods and in structured area.

-Binoculars (optional)
-Any other gear you normally carry including sidearms

Suggested specifications for primary replicas:

-Magnifying optics

Suggested experience level:
-One year or more playing airsoft (not counting backyard stuff)
-Attendance at enough skirms and ops to have a good idea of how large scale airsoft works around the northwest
-Team oriented attitude

Waivers available onsite. Minors will need a parent/guardian present to sign.

Why is the "Who" section for people who have only been active for a year? What is the idea behind this?

Updgraded as in peaking around 400, or just not an LPEG?

I have an M4 that shoots roughly 350fps.

Church, you're fine.
Darius, replicas should have accuracy modifications, otherwise they will be gimped for the majority of the class. As a basis I would suggest a tightbore and hopup rubber, with an FPS of 350-400 (for automatics).

I'm in. Is load bearing gear required? Because I don't have/use a plate carrier at the moment.

Colour me excited!

If a month of not noobing around counts, and you'll let me attend, I'll be there without a doubt.

If it is alright with you all, I'll show up provided I can get some midcaps for my M14.
Sounds cool!

I was shaky on going to this, until I saw it was at the Farm... Now, I'm probably going.
Please, I insist.
