Players interested in attending the Sniper Program should register at Jungle Toy or SoftAir Depot.  There are only 16 spaces available at the class.  

After the event, the field will be open to anyone who wishes to play airsoft for only $20.  Games will be held from 2 - 7 pm.

Yeah, it does.  Southwest is a cool field, too.  Question... are sniper rifles available to use during the training, or is it only for those who have a sniper rifle?

There will be at least two sniper rifles available for students who don't have a rifle.  This is a great way to try out some equipment and tactics before investing into new guns.

All participants must have sealed eye wear.  Minors must have full paintball style masks.  All weapons must chrono under 365 with .25 bb's.  

Send a pm for specific questions.

Mike, I don't own a crono, but will a gun shooting 400 fps with .2s be allowed?  Will .25s be under 365?

Also, I own an SPR that's shooting 400 fps.  Is the sniper training geared towards bolt action rifles or will an SPR be a sufficient weapon for this training?

Participants of the training program may use any airsoft weapon of choice.  However, I highly recommend using a dedicated airsoft sniper rifle.  The SPR will be fine.  You may have a slight advantage during some of the exercises due to the semiauto rate of fire.

Am I going to be within the crono limit for the game afterwards?
