STAG President Erick Acesor would like to thank all players that participated in the competition. He is encouraging individuals to play airsoft at the former La Fiesta Mall every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
STAG members are willing to lend their rifles and gear with the first timers to experience the fun and excitement of playing airsoft.
Erick would also like to appreciate all the sponsors that made this event possible: Micronesia Renewable Energy Inc. CNMI, Pena House Boutique & Salon, Fishing Tackle, Marianas Arsenal, Tech Plus, Cups & Rolls, Pest Busters T&A Corporation and FAT Sports NMI.
STAG is not just a group of people that plays every Sunday, it is also a “family of different races and ages that share camaraderie through airsoft.”
