Stirling Selection 09 (Special Event)

Stirling Airsoft selection course was first run in 2003. It was designed to push the candidate to the maximum of their ability and for us to select a team that we belived would suit the style of scenario's that we operate.

So far since 2003 we have had 312 candidates both male and female through selection from people wanting to test themselves,  for their charity, or to get into the Stirling Airsoft selection team. Out of 312 candidates only 33 have passed.
