Help
Does anyone know what newspapers the coverage was supposed to be in and on what day?
I thought i heard them say the 'News Letter' and the 'Telegraph'.
I bought the Belfast News Letter and the Belfast Telegraph today but theres no sign of us. :huh:
Has anyone else got any more information or has actually seen any paper coverage?
Cheers

I bought the Daily Telegraph today and the Newsletter and still no sign of us.....
However, these things do take time, the newspapers are letting stirling know when the article comes out anyway

I'm suprised the Newtownards Chronicle wasn't out there given the event was out in Strangford.

Just like to say thankyou very much, the article on utv was very professional looking, made it seem like a serious sport, instead of the game that ppl seem to think it is,
Cheers

Here is the photo and write-up we got in the Irish News tonight... sorry about the poor quality of the photo, my scanner isn't up to much :whistling:
Newsletter.jpg (293.75K)
Number of downloads: 140
Not much of a write-up (unless someone found more through the paper) but the photo looks really well!

I'm away to Wales to shoot people from 2nd to 6th Sep. Contact Liquid for anything urgent as my internet access will be limited.

Not amused at all.

I have now retired as the administrator of ASI, and I leave the forums in the most capable hands of Casper , Phil, Liquid and Drake. Please do not PM regarding the running or moderating of the forums as I no longer participate in either. Thank you.

'Any publicity is good publicity' as the saying goes.
There were mistakes in the article. Quoting me as a manager is one. These things happen due to time constraints. The journalists were decent enough to turn up in the first place. Even in the UK airsoft gets approx no coverage in the nationals.
Why don't you look at the overall picture and ask how much publicity your sport got in Ireland as a result?
If anyone types in Airsoft and Ireland in google they will find your site. The news coverage is what triggers their interest.
It's up to you guys to capitalise on what coverage the Irish sport has received.

As the shaft gets pushed into the rubber hole, the rubber clings to the shaft as it passes. Once the shaft is pushed in all the way, the rubber the shaft was pushed through has moved slightly in the direction the shaft was travelling. Since the rubber is now stretched in this direction, it wants to stretch back to it's original shape, and in doing so, pushes the plastic shaft back out the way it came. As it's now not seated properly, anything like your hand etc can catch it, making it fall out all together and get lost.
This is actually so silly you'll laugh at me for even suggesting it. All you have to do is 'lick' the shaft before you insert it into the gromet. Not slabber all over it, just lightly moisten it. This does two things. 1) It keeps the rubber from gripping the shaft as it slides by, so that when it eventually evaporates the rubber isn't trying to push the shaft back out.
