The point of it being that to snipe in airsoft (and be effective) is very difficult. The lessons learned on the coarse are to give the airsoft sniper an edge at acheiving proficiency. If everyone has access to that, you take away that edge. I feel the same way about a forum. If the forum discusses subjects such as basic ways to upgrade your BA and pros and cons of different sniper platforms and such, that's great. The problem I see is revealing all the information in one convenient place for everyone. Many airsoft snipers have taken the time to research real sniping techniques and training and figuring out what works for airsoft. If it gets posted up, everyone sees it and then the edge is taken away. I'm not trying to be elitest or anything like that so please don't take it that way. I'm just following the lead that Sha Do started with the clinics and courses.

I second that. If you really want to know how to perform well as a sniper the info is out there. No need to spoon feed it to everyone. If you don't have the patience to google it, you most likely won't have the patience to play the sniper role. |
As I said before, Tricks of the trade dont get revealed, therefore the sniper section would be something like FAQ's, safety rules, and whatnot. The section is more about what the airsoft sniper is and his/her roles, this way we dont get comments like "snipers are campers" or "you use the role as an excuse to camp" , yadda....yadda...yadda. If you want to spill the beans go ahead, but remember if you run you will only die tired..... :kill:
if you really want to learn more about the world of airsoft sniping, do some research and talk to some of us, as im sure we will be friendly enough to talk to you about some aspects (were not friendly when we look like bigfoot, smallfoot in my case).
As I said before, airsoft sniping is not for everyone, it takes a different kind of player to play the role some veteran players can attest that, me I have lots of patience, I can remain at one location for hours if need be, some of you know me for doing that. 8-) dissapear for several hours to return with several kills, not many, but its how you got to the targets and eliminated them :tup: or eliminating them from a fair distance ;-)
