Yatala - Plan Your Visit

About Us

Tactical Edge Hobbies was established in December of 2016. We recognized that there was a gap in the market for Gel Ball blasters and were looking to get our foot in the door to an emerging industry and a product that we love ourselves. Our Gold Coast Store began in a garage, progressed to a small warehouse and is now located in our mega sized headquarters in Yatala providing all Gelsoft enthusiasts 600 square metres of gel blasting goodness.

Our Yatala location has a great vibe, the biggest range of products, a state of the art shooting range, technician services and amazing staff members who will go beyond expectations to make your experience memorable. We also have Gelsoft Australia next door - so customers can come check out our amazing indoor field and shop all in one visit. We look forward to seeing you at Yatala soon!
