The trophies have been delivered to RedWolf Airsoft UK, way ahead of time and waiting for the winners who will bring them home. The biggest airsoft practical shooting event in Europe, the Airsoft Surgeon European Practical Pistol Championship will be on its 5th year and will take place on the 5th to 6th of August 2017 at the StrikeForce CQB in Gloucester.

Last year, we saw over 150 shooters from Europe and Asia converge in Gloucester to compete in what is to become a battle of skills and agility as they go through the various shooting stages. For this year, the shooters will be competing in Level 1 Match as the United Kingdom Practical Shooting Association (UKPSA) gave its official support. This also means it is an official Action Air competition in accordance to IPSC rules.

For the first time, a team from Brazil will be coming in to compete with 5 times Brazilian Champion Mr. Guga Riba to be competing as well as his company being a sponsor of the event. Guga Riba provides holsters, gears and accessories.

The organisers are expecting shooters from at least 14 countries to compete and this number might increase as the tournament day nears. A total of 20 stages are being prepared for this year with the following Divisions and Categories:

DIVISIONS:

  • Open (Max 28 rounds BB in each magazine)
  • Standard (Max 18 rounds BB in each magazine)
  • Classic (Max 10 rounds BB in each magazine) (single stack only)
  • Production (Max 15 rounds BB in each magazine) (Pistols currently approved on Production Division List)

CATEGORIES:

  • Male
  • Lady
  • Junior (17 years old & under)
  • Senior
  • Super Senior

Airsoft Action Magazine are sponsoring a “Fun Stage” in which money raised for this stage will go to Maggie's Cancer Caring Centre in Cheltenham. A special trophy will be prepared by Airsoft Action for this stage.

As always, we’ll be there to cover the action, as we have been doing since it started in 2013. If you intend to shoot in this tournament, better do so and book your slot. See you shooters!
