Safety first
Airsoft games often aim to accomplish a predetermined goal. It can be either capture a flag, infiltrating an enemy territory for sabotage, a rescue operation, or the complete annihilation of the opponent's team. The game needs to follow certain rules - the most important of which is health protection. This means that in addition to rifles and ammunition, you must also be equipped with protective gear such as goggles, wear protective equipment such as a helmet, protective face mask, or a net.
To make the most out of the game, it's worth joining a team and not play just by yourself. First of all, the team will teach you everything you need, such as practical tricks, and at the same time, the adrenaline-fueled game is perfect for building character and team spirit. Even introverts can make use of technical information, tips, and trick from teammates, and at the same time, you will easily learn about the planned events.
Airsoft clubs
If you are new to airsoft, it is worth looking around to find an airsoft club, association, or leisure center nearby. These are present in every major city. The Central Bohemian Region, for example, hosts the ASSP group (Special Scouting Group), which is based on the interventions of the professional police and army units. In addition, the group will provide you with theoretical and practical shooting training. The so-called Czech Amateur Airsoft group operates throughout the country - they connect airsoft enthusiasts and participate in various events.
