Ok, before I start I just want it to be known that I have no interest in becoming a sniper what so ever. This is for experienced users and those who want to be airsoft snipers.
There should be more of a black and white set of requirements/rules to "becoming" a sniper, something like this:

1- You MUST trust and respect your fellow players, and they must trust you.

2- You should have enough experience being a regular player with regular kit and have played an X amount of games.

3- You should have the ability to judge distance (a plus or minus 10M difference is great!)

4- Thare should be a test administered consisting of range estimation, accuracy, target aqcuisition and an ability to "adjust" for windage.

5- Most importantly: An understanding of what an Airsoft sniper is. Not the Hollywood BS.

The test can be administered at an outdoor field with the game coordinator/field owner and one or more actual TRUSTED "airsoft snipers".
The test can also be given to a person as many times by as many fields as wanted by the owner/game coordinator.

Comments and ideas are welcome so is support from the ASC community.
Keep the flames down, I'm just trying to help. If you disagree explain why.
