A Message from the SFAA President

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their support and give a brief explanation of what it is we are doing and why. No special effects or credits. Just me, my phone and a sincere Thank You for all the support we have received over the past two years.


Thank You Command Airsoft Technologies!

It seems that word is continually getting out about what we are doing here at the SFAA. A chance to really help solidify the reputation of airsoft and let the general public know it’s not as bad as they think. Well, up in Georgia a local shop called Command Airsoft Technologies sees this as a good thing and have been kind enough to donate an ICS SIG 551, which we shall raffle off soon to help raise money for the field. Check out their shop, they are the largest distributor of ICS Replicas here in the states. Great staff and great selection for you MilSim players. Check em out and check out their facebook page too!

Thank You Princeton Tec!

On behalf of the South Florida Airsoft Community I would like to thank the great staff over at Princeton Tec for the recent donation to the South Florida Airsoft Association. They have been kind enough to donate more than a couple of lights for us to raffle off in the hopes to raise money for our field. This is just a fine example of how the gap between our communities is getting smaller and smaller. I will continue to help bridge that gap as well.

So stay tuned and get ready for some really great raffle prizes. I can assure you there will be more than just some really impressive tactical and helmet lights!

Win a KWA PTP and other Goodies!

Normally, I do not enter contests. But from this point Ive decided that I will enter as many as I can and in return if I win, I will raffle off the winnings plus other goodies to someone in the community. I stand behind this community and want to watch it grow. Only for the better. I do this, the organization and the work for the field for the passion and love of this hobby and for no other reason than that.

I love the brotherhood, the fun times and the mayhem that coincides with our beloved sport. So with that said, if you would all be so kind to vote for my rifle provided by the link right here: http://bit.ly/xikrTs If we win, you can win the pistol shown above, some patches, a shirt or two and even some tactical gear! So thank you in advance and lets get our vote on!

Just How BIG is Airsoft?

Down here in Florida, our locations and demographic is a bit, well diverse for sure. AOs or Areas of Operation are few and far between. Literally speaking! You have to drive at least an hour or two to play at a legit field and well, not all of them are up to par. The good thing about them, they are there for us. Someone is taking the time to put something together for the community using what they have. Ingenuity is what I like to call that. It is why I am doing what I am doing with this organization. To make that gap smaller for players of the community.

The players in South Florida are growing on a weekly basis. There is always someone getting into the sport/hobby for whatever reason. Their kid plays it, and they want to spend time with them. Perhaps its the sense of brotherhood you get. Maybe you cant get into the military and this is your way of paying homage to the men and women of our armed forces, or maybe they are using it as a stress reliever, whatever the case they are interested.

And to give you an idea of how diverse and large this community (the airsoft community as a whole) is, and not too mention developed, check out this video from Operation Lion Claw Military Simulation Series (OCLMSS). Run by John Lu, he puts on the best of the best in military simulation games for our community. Always giving back to the military community as well. If you are unfamiliar with this name, I strongly recommend doing some research and checking him as well as all other events he has put on with his crew.

Truly and inspiration to me and a goal that I think our community here in South Florida is capable of reaching, giving we work together to make it happen. Check out this video with some clip and interviews with the various players from one of their events. This will really give you a great idea how how large this game is and how much larger it is becoming.

Then ask yourself, who really plays airsoft these days? This promo video should help you answer that question.


Tactical MilSim Magazine and the SFAA.

Recently, I have been fortunate enough have a lengthy conversation with the Owner of Tactical MilSim Magazine MSG (Ret) Howard “Mad Max” Mullen. For those who are unfamiliar with that name, allow me to help explain.

Master Sergeant (Ret.) Howard “Mad Max” Mullen, a 26 year United States Army veteran, is known as one of the most dynamic Rangers to ever serve in the US Army. Beginning in 1979, Mullen served with the elite fighting force group through the decade and into the mid-1990s. During “Operation Urgent Fury” on October 25, 1983, Mullen conducted a 500ft combat parachute assault on the island of Grenada. He has over 250 static line airborne jumps. MSG Mullen is also well known and respected in the mil-sim community and has participated in some of the largest mil-sim events in the US. His experience bridges the gap from real-world military and law enforcement to the tactical mil-sim community. In addition, Mullen has appeared in movies, books, magazines, commercials, and national print ads, as well as public speaking engagements.

MSG Mullen stands behind our cause and look in the future for more to come with us and Tactical MilSim magazine. Mr. Mullen believes that we are doing can not only help bridge the gap between our local community members and our airsoft community but the gap between us and our local law enforcement community. Stay tuned for more great information regarding this relationship and our new field. Until then, please enjoy this commercial, as I know most of you will.
