Today we are going to delve a bit into the world of Airsoft as a training tool for marksmanship and tactical application.  Airsoft has immense potential for introducing new shooters to the shooting sports and offer very realistic fully accurate reproduction weapons to work with.  I think Airsoft gets a bad rap with many people who see it only as a way for pseudo military types to “play war games”.

The reality is even if gaming isn’t your thing Airsoft has a ton to offer in the way of affordable training that you can safely practice just about anywhere.

Tune in today to hear…

  • Some of the different options in Airsoft weapons
    • Spring
    • Gas
    • AEG (automatic electric guns)
  • The value of all metal gas blow back airsoft pistols for training
  • How Airsoft can let you shoot more often
  • Building a “target/training range” anywhere
  • The value of “cheap plastic spring pistols”
  • Accelerting the learning curve for new shooters
  • Being a better coach because you can be more relaxed
  • Using airsoft to replace fear with respect
  • Transitioning new shooters to conventional arms
  • Protecting the 2nd amendment by promoting gun ownership and safety
