Headband vs Vest For Laser Tag

Image
With the introduction of outdoor laser tag, a bit of a controversy has surfaced regarding where the laser tag signal receivers, or sensors, should be placed on the head using a headband or on the chest using a vest. Most people with a basic understanding of laser tag only know it to be played with a vest, not a headband. Outdoor laser tag uses headbands for practical reasons. In fact, some people who see sensors placed on the head during outdoor laser tag view it as somewhat barbaric. Why would you shoot someone in the head? Isn't that a bad example for the kids?

Basic Tag / Elimination  Each player starts with 2 to 9 lives depending on how long you want the game to last. The teams start on opposite ends of the laser tag field . When the game begins, it is best that for the first 2 or 3 minutes, the players are not allowed to cross the middle. This eliminates chaos at the beginning of the game, where players run all over the place without a real game plan. After 2 or 3 minutes, the referee y

What is Laser Tag?

Brief Laser Tag History - And I Do Mean Brief Laser tag has been around for about three decades in the form of indoor arenas.  This is how most people are familiar with laser tag. And although consumer-grade laser tag toys have sporadically been around since the mid-1980s with the introduction of the Worlds of Wonder laser tag Photon guns, the business of outdoor laser tag using commercial-grade equipment got its start in Australia when  Battlefield Sports  introduced their line of  outdoor laser tag guns  a little over two decades ago. When I started my mobile outdoor laser tag company in 2003, the two main questions I got were, "How can you play laser tag in the daytime? Don't you have to wait until it gets dark?" and "So, can you see the laser in the sunlight?". The key to answering these questions is understanding what laser tag is and isn't. Laser Tag is Not What You May Think Let's start with what laser tag isn't. Laser tag isn'
