This was the first of it kind in this area. Of course you know that I am a real steel shooter so I saw what you see in the videos. I am trying to promote this type of shooting with airsoft. Many of the people who came, I knew would not have much experience other than skirmish type shooting. I setup the stages for the match. I gave a safety meeting with all the shooters before the match and discussed gun handling, stage descriptions and range commands. I chose to go less rule heavy for this first match because I wanted people to shoot and have fun. This was my choice. I believe once shooters get more experience it will be easier collectively for self enforcement during these matches. I think this will show itself in subsequent matches. The host store AEX has already indicated they want to do more matches and possibly a multi gun.
