Thanks for the warm welcomes, I look forward to seeing y'all in Bali.
Yes, air-soft is the only game in town in Japan. But you can do a lot with it within its confines--the major of which, of course, is lack of recoil.
However, it's better than just dry-shooting and offers the plus of being able to set up stages inside the family home--without earning a visit from the local SWAT team
I understand some U.S. instructors, such as Karl Rehn of KR Training are recognizing the value of air-sfot as part of training
Air-soft certainly allows a new slant on running the Tueller Drill.
