Airsoft gets a lot more interesting the moment you stop treating every target like a must-shoot. We’re joined by Ontario airsoft player and event host Matt Cappon to talk about what “tactical” really means: patience, positioning, and the psychology of choosing the right moment instead of the fastest trigger pull.

Winter has a way of sanding down hard-won skills, and most indoor walk-ons don’t fix it. So we brought in Daryl Robson—MagFed veteran, airsofter, and two-tour Ukraine combatant—to lay out a practical CQB training plan built for Ontario’s cold months. No fluff, no heroics. Just a clear path to keep angles clean, communication tight, and team flow intact when the outdoor season is asleep.
