It's that time of the year again in which the airsoft world will see a unique airsoft event that takes place in winter. It is one of the few events in the world but most probably the only that happens in the dead of winter. The GF Point 2015 is a tough airsoft event which not only tests the airsoft shooting and tactical skills of competitors, it is also a tough and gruelling orienteering event that tests the stamina and will of those who dare.

This will take place this weekend, the 16th-17th of January 2015 Owl Mountains of Poland. We don't know yet what will make this GF Point different from the previous years and we are curious to know the theme for this year.

This event will bring out the best and toughest amongst Polish and other airsoft players from Europe as they expect around 300 participants. That number is impressive given that it is a low season for airsoft events in the Northern Hemisphere and many would rather play multiplayer FPS video games than have their balls frozen in the field.

Good luck to all the participants and organisers. Keep warm and stay safe!

The GFPOINT airsoft orienteering race is the only event in Poland – and one of only a few such events in the world – combining airsoft activities with orienteering (the so-called foot-O). Such an event allows to check the participant's general fitness, and navigation skills, as well as his knowledge and expertise in matters of general defense, military and survival, all that combined with more than just a slight touch of airsoft.

The event's military character is defined by the requirements the participants must meet in terms of clothing and gear, as well as the type of task which need to be completed during the run, which include – but are not restricted to – a shooting range, killing house, general military knowledge test, etc.

This year we have decided to set the limit at 300 participants, with an additional 200 staff and volunteers. Bringing together airsofters, military enthusiasts, security, law enforcement and military officers, mountaineers, tourists and foot-O oriented sportsmen.

In the upcoming 6th edition which will be taking place on January 17th 2015, the participants will once again face each other in the incredibly scenic areas of the Owl Mountains the oldest mountain range in Poland. Aside from the beautiful wild landscapes and very demanding routes, the area is covered with numerous objects, facilities and underground tunnels from the times of world war II, which seriously affect the incredible atmosphere of this event. The route will run, among others, through the tunnels of a post-Nazi complex of underground facilities in Włodarz.
