The original Airsoft Canada is indeed unfortunately gone, and all the data it once had. (I hope one day this can be rectified). Best places if you are looking to buy new are BlackBlitz Airsoft, Andy's Airsoft, 007 Airsoft and Spades Tactical off the top of my head. If anything, more fields have died! Siege airsoft, Flag Raiders, Ultimate Paintball, PRZ and Finches field are all gone. You still have Clarington Woods, Wasaga, ALR, Action Air, Urban Ops, DMZ, Niagara Quartermaster, Warsoft Nation, Camp Golf and Option B fields. This is not an exhaustive list, I'm sure I forgot some.

Blackblitz is awesome- great selection and staff! As I'm a noob (only a year or so) I play at Warsoft- south of Brantford-about an hour from home in KW- and I love playing there! Literally just think about airsoft all week until I can play! Would be cool if we could get some Milsim's in southern Ontario!

Drone usage at the field should be guided by the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs). Flying too close to people or dropping things from drones is prohibited by the CARs. Drone usage should be prohibited to recon roles only from a vertical height of 30+ meters. Counterdrone measures should also take into account that interfering with aircraft in flight is a violation of CARs. Anything that could possibly cause the drone to crash or otherwise lose control would be out of the picture. The safest rule would be just not to allow them to avoid all the back and forth. However I understand they add an element to gameplay that is realistic to modern combat and interesting for players so I understand the impetus to want them on fields.

I've noticed it too. Even at a basic 8 hour mil-scrim with a meal break in the middle. It seems as though a third of the players disappear in the first 90 minutes. It was never like that 10 years ago.

@oxairtech

I was chatting about this the other day. I know in the South Okanagan of BC, we went from 2 milsims last year to 4 this year. Attendance was down significantly and one event was cancelled due to lack of sign ups. My guess is event fatigue played a part here. Our smaller day events, community days, swap meets, seem to better. Give folks other things to do like a shooting course competition, swap meet, socializing, seems to keep people attentive and locked in to staying a little longer.

@Desmodus

Brutal, hopefully they catch those responsible. That is a LOT of high-end items.

@Desmodus

Welcome to the forum! In my experience, training days and events/classes usually gather a pretty great turnout. We've had great success here in Ontario when we used to help run and instruct at the Siege Airsoft 101 classes. I find the crowd to be very attentive and receptive to the training if you have good staff and ARSO's to help out individual shooters and keep bullshit to a minimum. I'd get in contact with local fields to you and pitch the idea, they might be able to help you with marketing the training as well through their socials and other channels. Best of luck. I'm a big fan of providing training to improve the quality of the player base, both from the skills side and mentality side.

@hardk0re I added a Training section yesterday.  Might have missed it as its at the bottom. https://airsoftcanada.ca/forum/training/ Please do Register your business, it's free to do so, gets you listed in the Directory and a free Business or Club account lets you post one active event at a time in the events section.

As promised, here are some pics of the gearbox mod to get a PolarStar F2 Direct Attachment in a modified Kyrtac Gearbox.  Installed with a Antech Airsoft shim kit and paired with a PolarStar hopup. https://i.imgur.com/uOR5ZjS.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/UIbeoMh.jpeg

@oxairtech

I've been trying to make my gear as light as possible.  Been running this knock off HRT belt and loving it.  Safariland holster, Esstac angled pistol pouches, and when I run my HPA I have a small carbon 36ci tank in Novritsch pouch. https://i.imgur.com/3XBLI4H.jpeg

@Desmodus

How's the quality of the Pew tactical? I haven't seen a lot of their gear out in the wild.
