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. For details and a list of items needed to take the course please visit the ABZ website

World War 2 Russian Era Airsoft Game

Talked with the event organizer of our Operation FreeFall Airsoft Game today and he said he was going to write a World War 2 Style airsoft game. If it stays on schedule it should roll out near Neilsville, WI early spring of 2008. We will make sure and give plenty of notice of the details and rules of this upcoming major airsofting event.

Also soon to hit the airsoft gaming calender for spring of 2008 is "An Airsoft Scenario" A modern day thriller airsoft game. This game is about a group of State Farmers who are ripping off their good neighbors and must be stopped. This airsoft event is scheduled for the April 17th 2008 Airsoft opening day at the ABZ field located in Fairchild, Wisconsin.

Looking for a wisconsin airsoft game a little sooner than 2008? We have several on the calender for the upcoming months. Check out the Wisconsin Airsoft Game Calender to find the next airsoft event at Airsoft Battle Zone.
