The grand opening event is going to be held on May 26th, 2007.
This event will consist of:
A Stock GBB Pistol Enhanced TAPPS competition
An Unlimited GBB Pistol Enhanced TAPSS competition
An AEG Enhanced TAPSS Competition.
(If enough Revolver entries show up, there will also be a revolver stage)
Schedule is as follows:
Arrival and Registration - 9AM to 10AM
Course Run Through - 10AM to 10:30AM
First Stock GBB Stage Begins - 10:30AM
Followed by AEG class then Unlimited GBB class.
2nd Stage will be set up during a lunch break following the last shooter of Stage 1.
The time it takes to finish the day will depend on how much everyone pays a attention to instructions and shows up at the line for their stage. Shooters will be assigned their order in the stage at sign in. First come first on the list.
At this time there are no scheduled Prize packages for this event. (It's my first.... I can't afford it), your Prize is your bragging rights.
There will also be an Airsoft Swap meet. Meaning for a fee, space will be made available to lay out your guns and gear for sale or trade.

( 2.9 / 169 )Last Friday I signed the lease on the property for the Airsoft Specialists Practical Shooting Facility. This weekend (including today)I have been getting materials purchased and setting up the various components to get it looking like a practical range, ready for a hopeful first practice night on May 22nd.
Today I will be taking some pictures and video of the course throughout my setup so people will see what the place looks like.
Later

( 2.9 / 187 )I would like to take this time to again give thanks to those who have provided support to Airsoft Specialists and TAPSS. I have recently been blessed with help, be it in the form of a voice, a helping hand, time or financial support by a few different members of the Airsoft community. It is help from people like this that will ultimately allow me to get the new Practical Shooting range off the ground and running. Please take some time to go to the list of Friends of Airsoft Specialists to see those that have helped me the most. Also check out my Sponsors page to see those companies that have given me support now and in the past.
Again, thanks
BP

( 3 / 115 )I have found a venue for TAPSS in Ohio... FINALLY. I haven't signed the lease yet, but that will happen early next week. It's 2500 square feet and includes lights and electric for a rather affordable price per month. More than enough square footage for TAPSS, so going on an idea by the guys at Airsoft Arms, I am going to be running Airsoft swap meets during TAPSS events too.
Here is the link to the site info at AS:
http://airsoftspecialists.com/articles/TAPSS/AS_PSC.htm
And here is the first event announcement at Airsoft Ohio:
http://www.airsoftohio.com/forums/showt ... hp?t=13826
They are giving me a month to month lease with no added fee to the rent, so I can make sure I'll be able to pull it off, without having to commit to a full lease. The owners are very nice about that. If things take off, then maybe I'll sign a longer lease.
Everyone wish me luck. And if you don't live in Ohio, make sure you stop by if you ever visit Ohio.
Oh yeah.. if you are one that is extremely interested in Airsoft Practical Shooting making a place for itself in the US, I can use all the help I can get to keep this going... feel free to make donations to Airsoft Specialists...Any donations will go directly to maintaining and improving this facility.

( 2.9 / 139 )Friday evening I went with Brad and Brian from Airsoft Arms to look at a property in Blanchester, OH that we hope will be able to be used as an indoor TAPSS venue. It's almost 3000 square feet, 35 X 80. Way larger than NEEDED for indoor TAPSS. Brad and Brian are trying to talk a deal with the owner for one day rental fees. We are hoping, if a deal can be made that we can afford, that we can not only use it as a TAPSS venue, but also use the un-needed space for an airsoft swap meet to go along with the TAPSS event.
Wish us luck.
