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.

Because all airsofters love kit discussion. The Event Stirling Airsoft’s England vs Scotland 2018 at Catterick. I’ve been very…

Bulking Up
Ghillie bulking. Not gym bulking… Just a quick article today while I’ve been starting a new suit using some new materials and ideas, and thought I’d share what I’m doing in the hope it helps someone else with their build Ignoring the lenskin, which I’ll be playing with later, here’s my Viper cape in Multicam…

Winter is coming…
Well, it’s a bit early for discussing winter but the seasons are changing and having taken time off during the summer for holidays and family time (taking them camping in the wild, obviously), I’ve been having a think ahead to the onset of autumn and changes to my camouflage. Summer in the UK is brief,…

REVIEW – UK SNIPER SYSTEMS MOSS SUIT
Before the revolution of leaf suits, way back when I first started sniping, I invested in this suit as a base to attach tons of jute thread onto and moved around looking like a big pile of coloured string. It was featured last summer in my ghillie build guide as a base for a “hybrid”…
