Hi

 

brand new to airsoft but not shooting, I own various airguns and have my FAC and SGC.

 

im not sure I’ll go the whole skirmish route but I’m interested to know if there are any practical airsoft shooting  places near me (Oxfordshire) I don’t mind travelling but obviously not to the other end of the country.

 

can be rifle or pistol, ideally rifle though to compliment my 22lr kriss defiance.

 

any advice most welcome 

 

thanks

Hi @Jasongtr

 

Everywhere is closed at the moment unfortunately.  I’m kinda similar, have my UKARA and SGC, was working on my FAC until everything closed down.

 

I’m in SE Essex, and the there are four places within an hours drive of me, all currently closed. No idea about Oxfordshire, but I would ask around airsoft sites, there are bound to be some nearer you.

 

Or come over to Essex when this all blows over. Feel free to drop me a PM if you need any more info

Thanks for that, yeah I know the places would be shut my local range where I shoot my Rimfires is closed too, so the sites local to you do practical airsoft stuff then?


Yep. One is a club without a permanent base, two are CQB arenas, one is an add on to a large woodland site.

Welcome to the forum. 

It might depend on what you mean by 'practical' airsoft? If you mean IPSC/UKPSA practical then you need IPSC Action Air.

Yes that’s exactly what I mean, an airsoft version of what they do with mini rifle

 

thanks

IPSC only officially recognises Action Air handgun as a discipline but some Action Air clubs do run 2 or 3 gun style shoots. If you search facebook for 'UKPSA Action Air' you'll find the people who do practical target shooting using airsoft guns. I'm not aware of any clubs that specifically run airsoft mini-rifle but I can't think of any reason it can't be done.

Thanks, think I bought my GHK rifle on a whim, had it a little while now and used it twice, time will tell if I use it
