IT'S the new outdoor adventure sport taking Australia
by storm, and now Tasmanians are getting into the action.
Laser Skirmish
-- similar to paintball but with infra-red laser beams instead of
paint -- sends players stalking through bushland settings using
harmless phasers to shoot at sensors on opponents' hats.It is designed
to nurture teamwork, team morale, communication and fitness, rather
than promote violence or teach fighting skills.Tas Laser Skirmish
is the brainchild of Hobart couple Jonathon and Cindy Simonetis
and was launched officially at The Lea, near Kingston, yesterday.
But hundreds of Tasmanians have already played the game since the business opened in November.Mr Simonetis said he and Cindy wanted to start their own business after moving back to Hobart from Melbourne last year, and saw Laser Skirmish as a wonderful opportunity."It's very new in Australia and is starting to spread throughout the world," he said."The focus is on team-building -- groups need to be able to communicate within their teams to achieve certain objectives -- and obviously it's good fun as well."It's great for corporate and social functions and corporate team-building, through to events for sporting clubs, bucks' parties and hens' parties."Mr Simonetis knows the sight of people clad in khaki green running through the bush with realistic-looking weapons may cause alarm.He has deliberately removed military references from the game, turning the focus from simply "killing" the opposition to working as a team and developing strategy. "It's as safe as running around orienteering in the bush, it's just that we do it with an electronic phaser," he said."Get away from the computer, come outside and join some real people interacting. Get out there and have some fun."
