Airsoft Sport Awareness For Newbies

BFSL

M.I.A will be holding a demonstration day on the 28th of June.
this is to answer the many questions we receive in relation to the sport of airsoft.
The A.T.F and the Contractors have agreed to lay on a demonstration in the large car park beside the shop and we will also have a small target range set up for people to try out different types of guns.
The local Gardai will be informed of the event.
This is not a skirmish day so please do not bring any of your own guns, but captains of teams may come dressed in their chosen team uniforms to try and recruit some new members.
We would be very grateful to any experienced skirmishers who could come along to help answer questions for newbies about the sport the equipment and the legalities.
All are welcome.
Thank you.:D

That sounds like a really good idea, I hope you get the right audience guys. I'm sure you will and with the teams present it will only help.

Derek,
Good job on that. As the sport is growing up we need to educate the population, Team FRAG of Navan willing to lend a hand if requested.

Sounds deadly. Maybe if you knew you had enough interest you could do a bus from town or a shuttle from blanch shopping centre.

What time do you want people turning up? I'm gonna point some people at it.

Will the shop be open on the day?

BFSL

Thank you everyone, great support and looking forward to seeing you all.
The shop will be open on the day as usual.

Firstly: BUMP. Awareness is definitely needed.

Secondly, I'll put this on the bebo, hopefully help the numbers.

BFSL

I hope this goes as well as we think, we have great interest from our customers so I would imagine there will be lots of recruiting:)

Nearly sure I caught that. Must check now. If I did it'll be up soon. Did Weeder and Blay turn up to HRTA with the springers?

Thanks Derek, Mark and MIA, good fun day.

Thanks to everyone for the help on the day Great fun.To the ATF always a pleasure. Probably the most painful game I've ever played. I look like I got chicken pox on my arms. can't wait to see the full video from lethal_bullet. I don't think you got my fall behind the truck thank god:D running around on hard ground covered in 100,000 bb's isn't as easy as I thought

Apologies to alan for the previous clip(Which has now been locked). I'm working on a full one but dont want to offend anyone so: Atf and Contractor Forum members, please check with your team membbers that took part that they do not mind me tubing the footage I shot(all pre 1:30 when I left btw).

Thanks
Simon

Masada

if you shot it at a public accessible event then you own the copyright simon.,;)
you dont need anyone to sign a release.,

Puding

true but its always good to be nice and not ride rough shot over people

The way I understand it is if I shoot it from my property, or public property without any aid(as in standing on a chair) then anything I shoot(even if it is private land that I can see) is mine. Orion Buisness Park is not public though. There are security guards at the entrances so I dont know if that counts as publically accesable....

Gyle

I don't have a problem i don't think anyone will. post all the craziness together there must be tons of trips and slips there were bb's flying all over the place.
Thanks for playing cameraman. i bet you took a few hit:D

He he. Keith better hope he doesnt come against me anytime soon:p His shotty charge did look great but much opf it was lost due to me jumping six feet in the air as the bbs rattled of the industrial unit.

Ok, if I rip it on one machine then move the files to another it'll work or I can do it on the first one if DrPepper can figure out how to solve the issue with it. Either ways it should be done very soon. Looking at it now though its quite shaky, get your motion sickness pills lads :P
