What is
Airsoft?
Airsoft replicas are usually modelled on their real-world counterparts, firing small 6mm BBs. Airsoft is similar to first-person shooting video games (or paintball but better), and it allows experiencing realistic battle and tactical scenario gameplay.
It’s an active, physical sport requiring teamwork, communication, and strategy — played safely with proper eye protection and club rules.

Taranaki's
Own
The Taranaki Airsoft Rangers (TAR) has been running since 2009, based at 590 Denbigh Road, Midhirst, Taranaki — a privately owned 12-hectare farm offering bush, open fields, forest, and buildings all in one venue.
We game fortnightly on Saturdays, weather permitting. You don't need to be a member to play — but members get cheaper games and help support the club. Rentals, BBs, batteries, and eye protection available on game day.
