An article about ammo, ammo management, magazine management and basically making sure that something comes out of the barrel when you pull the trigger, because you’ve got to make that one shot count. As you would imagine, this is going to be based on the VSR platform but applies to all bolt action sniper rifles.…

No, this isn’t that announcement. A few days ago I got a question on the Ghillie Guide and it’s one I get asked really often, so rather than a short reply there, I thought I’d do a proper one here. So it’s partially a late reply for Mr Philip Robins, but also to address everyone…

Night Optic Devices (NODs) are certainly one of the more expensive pieces of kit available to airsoft players. Once the preserve of a select few, elite milsim players, they are becoming a more common sight on the field, especially in dark indoor sites and at full weekend events. On the face of it, they do…

Yep. A sniper blog about why that added range actually counts for very little. Think it’s all about being able to hit further than the others?

I wanted to draw some attention to a good cause this week. A couple of months ago, when things were looking very bleak and the world was facing a great unknown, the Sniperworks team were looking at a way to try and brighten the mood a little. Our in house tech guy Jordan had a…

I know it’s actually Thursday but having been locked down for 7 weeks nobody really cares what day it is anyway. Progress on kit is still on pause because I want to be in the right environment to do the camouflage, and I don’t have a shooting range. Life had descended into drinking and gaming,…
