Tuesday Thinkings #5 – Cheaters…
Many apologies to the sniper faithful for being a bit less sniper lately. I’ve been busy with my team doing milsim stuff and learning how to fix aeg’s. Interesting, and something different but a lot more time consuming than expected. But, back to the day job and back to another Tuesday Thinkings. And after a…

Tuesday Thinkings #4 – Phantomleaf
Not much on the horizon this week as I’m still waist deep in aeg repairs, but there is a look at some new camo you need to have a look at. Phantomleaf has arrived and it’s looking pretty damn good. Lots more pics than usual this week! So, after having a look at concamo previously,…

Tuesday Thinkings #3
Apologies for the break in Thinkings, as you may have noticed I’ve been busy writing a big Ghillie Guide which I hope helps a lot of people who are starting the sniper role, or are having issues with their camouflage and are just looking for ideas. The aim is to get my entire knowledge and…

Tuesday Thinkings #2
Tuesday Thinkings #2. Although I’ve not had chance to do much practical stuff the last two weeks, I’ve still been looking at stuff every day and thanks for the positive comments about the first Thinkings blog, and had some useful conversations off the back of it. First up, Concamo, which is starting to appear everywhere…

Tuesday Thinkings
In addition to the bigger articles, I’ve decided to mix up the blog format a bit with a fortnightly round up from the world of airsoft snipers, to keep up with what’s hot and what’s not, good information from conversations I’ve had with players across the globe, and any good questions I’ve had from social…

Are snipers just lazy campers?
Camping, laying around in bushes. Are snipers lazy players? I was following a post in a general airsoft group on Facebook and there’s clearly a very different perception of the sniper role from those who do it, and the wider community. But I don’t think it’s fair to label us snipers as lazy, or campers.…

Plans for the Summer
Warm weather, lots of extra greenery, more big events on. Ideal for sniping, no? Er, no. Not for me anyway. Although most of the time I’m happy running alone, behind enemy lines, there are times when I like to chip in as part of a team and do something a bit different. This summer, I’m…

Observations from Sniperworks One
It’s fair to say that Sniperworks One went really well for all parties involved. It’s also been a very interesting learning experience for us all and we’ve had plenty to talk about as a result. Even personally, as a sniper of plenty of experience at a variety of events, this has been a learning curve,…

Event Report – Sniperworks One
A few months back, I got together with a few other players in the north to organise a new kind of sniper weekend event. Hosted by Raw War Airsoft Cumbria over the weekend of 9/10th Feb 2019, Sniperworks One was our test run at doing something a bit different… There are, of course, a few…

The Point6 Loadout Challenge; Part 1 – Budget Loadout
I’ve been set a challenge by Point6 Airsoft, to put together three different loadouts for an airsoft sniper, on very different budgets. It’s a good opportunity to delve into some kit articles and discuss different approaches, so I’ve accepted. Point6 will do videos (link at bottom) , I’ll blog it, and we’ll discuss ideas the…
