AirsoftCon 2010 - Airsoft Event & Convention, West Virginia Penitentiary Sept 10

[Locutus]

AirsoftCon 2010 is a three day airsoft experience hosted by Team Stormblade that features an airsoft convention and airsoft event all at one unique location. A modern 40k square foot convention center sits inside the prison walls of the West Virginia Penitentiary. The WV Penitentiary main structure is over 1,100' feet long with many rooms and exteriors structures. Come for one day or all three.

Test your squad’s skills against our Shadow Squad Role Players in different scenarios. Rescue a science team being held hostage in a science lab by terrorists. Perform a realistic drug raid when an undercover officer calls in for backup.

The event will also feature multiple squad based force-on-force scenarios throughout the day and night.

Hone your squad’s skills with a FREE 2-hour CQC training course provided by High Risk Training*.

During downtime browse the vendors and exhibitors in the conference center.
