Wisconsin Airsoft Field Mandates Saftey Course

The Airsoft Battle Zone airsoft game field in Fairchild, WI will begin making the Wisconsin Airsoft Association saftey course or (AEC) mandatory for field users as of September 1st 2007. We have held several of these events and you can see a noticeable difference in the level of "airsoft safety awareness" and "gun safety practices" being applied on the game field by the AEC graduates. The field referee's agree noticing more people remembering to pull out mags before entering the safety zone, keeping fingers off triggers in the safe zone and in general just better "safety thinking" out on the field. Now that we have a good percentage of AEC graduates playing in each game, we are starting to see the full impact of the course as other players begin reminding each other of potential safety issues on the field. As of Sept 1, we will make this course a mandatory requirement for anyone who plays on our field. The requirement will be grandfathered in so you can attend games until the next scheduled class. The WAA deserves some huge credit for putting this together and training up the trainers for the class. Our next scheduled course is August 26th at 9:00 A.M. at the Fairchild, WI airsoft field located at S.13508 County Road H.
