BBWarz Hero - Shooting Competitions at Fox Airsoft!

Posted by WebStore on 20th Jan 2017

A few years back, we here at Fox Airsoft had occasional shooting competitions here at the shop. It was mainly a competition between customers, friends, and coworkers. We've decided to bring back the shooting competitions in a more competitive sense, which will include weekly and quarterly prizes!

Click here for dates!

The BBWarz Hero Shooting Competitions will take place on the first Tuesday and last Friday of every month from 4:30pm-6:30pm. The winner of each of these days will win a FREE ticket to Flat Acres Farms Airsoft. Competitors are limited to semi-automatic pistols only, and are required to bring their own materials, which is included to the pistol itself, power, and ammo. The range instructor will give you the instructions for the task, and the range instructor will have the final say on all rulings. The top 10 players of the quarter of the year will be contacted via email, for which they have made it into finals, for which the entry fee into the finals is $10. These players will meet once again for the fastest time using their own equipment, for the chance to win the grand prize, which may consist of either a NEW PISTOL or a $100 MYSTERY BOX!

You will be shooting at targets on a 11.5"x7" piece of paper from roughly 5 yards away. Sounds easy, right? Wrong. The range officer will give you instruction on the order in which to shoot the targets and how many shots per target, as well as any other guidelines that are related to the challenge. The targets will not always be the same, and will change to keep you on your toes. The purpose of these competitions is to get you better at using your pistol. The picture above is known as the "1-2-3" drill. You start with the pistol laying on the table, round in the chamber and hammer back, with the safety on. The range instructor will ask if the shooter is ready, and if the shooter indicates they are ready, the shooter will wait for the sound of the beep. At the beep, in this scenario, the shooter will pick up the pistol, take it off of safety, and fire one round into the small square on the bottom right, fire two rounds into the circle on the left, fire three rounds into the square at the top, and then shoot the stop plate to stop the timer.

The drills will change every few weeks to keep things interesting, and the prizes will not always be the same for the quarterly finals. Once again, these are to keep you keen on your skills with your pistol. What use is your sidearm if you spray and pray? As time goes on we hope to expand this even further beyond the shooting range, perhaps doing outdoor events at FAF, and perhaps even adding rifles into the mix. While we are very excited to bring this back, we need to remind everyone to be safe, and that this is a competition, so there are going to be rules and guidelines.

Here are the rules:

Honestly, this is the only airsoft shop I will ever buy from. Their guns are always quality. Their custom work is mind blowing. Their staff is not only helpful, but always happy to help. If you are just starting out or have been playing for years, these guys have guns, gear, and good advice for every situation.
