Early this week, we got information that another Action Air/Airsoft Practical Shooting International Event has been sent for the 1st quarter of 2015 in Europe.  On the 1st of March 2015, the International Level 3 IPSC Action Air Finland Competition will be held in Nokia, Finland. This event is comprised of 12 stages, more than 200 rounds and full day of action. Pistol classes will be Open, Production and Standard with.  categories being General, Lady, Junior and Senior.

According to Mika Vuolle, the Information Officer for the event, the Action Air Finland 2015 will be one of the few Level 3 Action air competitions in the world next year and that the organisers are expecting a very high class match with some of the best action air shooters in Europe and parts of Asia joining in this event.

The organisers are aiming to push for the popularity of the sport and this is the second time that they will be holding a Level 3 Action Air Match. The previous match was highly successful and was held at the same venue last April 2014 with participants coming from Finland, Poland, Slovakia, Belgium and Hong Kong.

"[The] Production class will be new thing this year and we are assuming that it will be very popular, bringing the Action Air to a new level of popularity. You can pick up your gear straight from the shop and that's it. It is ready for the race. It is cheap and pistols are equal, so this class will measure the [sic] shooting skills very effectively”, says match director Roy Juurijoki, who himself is among the very best Action Air shooters in Europe.

Voulle mentioned that new IPSC rules concerning Action Air Production Class will be published by the beginning of next year.  According to him, the moost important rules are 15 rounds in the magazine and only minor alterations allowed on the original manufacturer's pistol. Accepted pistol models are limited to airsoft replicas of those models included in IPSC Production class pistol list.
