The 7 S’s of Camouflage
(featured image – Raw War, Carlisle) Can’t remember how many there are to be honest, so I’ll go with the 7 that i can remember/may have made up. These are the things you need to think about in the field. Having a good ghillie suit or camouflage system is only half of the battle. You need…

Ghillie Guide – Materials to Use
2026 update Ghillie materials have evolved enormously since the first guide as needs, experience and technology has changed not only on the Airsoft field, but in hunting, wildlife photography, and, of course, the modern battlefield itself. It isn’t a case of simply attaching as many things to your suit as possible though. Every element needs…

Ghillie Guide – Choosing a base
There are a lot of different approaches to making a ghillie, or suit, or concealment system (I’ll stick to the word ghillie as a blanket term for it all), and a lot of different materials. But where do you start? That’s generally the moment where people get it right, or terribly wrong. Modifying and making…

The Ghillie Guide
The complete ghillie building guide. I’ve been working on a few little camouflage articles lately, but decided that instead of having lots of seperate articles to flick through, I’d just put them all in one place, and have one resource to help you build a suit from scratch, or help develop your current one. Rather…

Why #vsrforever
What is the best airsoft sniper rifle? The eternal question. I’m going to put the case forward for the VSR platform. Anyone who knows me from social media will recognise the hashtag above. It’s not just a love of the rifle though, I do have reasons for recommending it and I thought I might as…

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.…

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…

Principles of Camouflage
On days off I spend hours on end looking through pictures of ghillie suits, leaf suits, camouflaged rifles and webbing setups. There are now thousands of airsoft snipers posting pics on social media. A lot of them now are taken indoors and in poor light so it is sometimes hard to judge their effectiveness in…
