The familiarity I'm finding on this forum is both refreshing and hilarious!
Apparently devoting ALL your time, money, love and attention to the wife and kiddies is not a "hobby" and not "healthy" for my sanity or "our" relationship! Lol.
Rugby was getting too "dangerous". "If you injured yourself, you can't work", blaa-blaa.
Basketball after a 15yr absence killed my Medial Collateral (again) and Head-Fi (Headphone hifi) is too "nerdy" and doesn't ivolve any fitness. (I taught skiing in the French Alps for 10yrs and willingly retired when I met my wife to take up heating engineering), I digress.
I've chuckled to myself on this forum on many occasions drawing hilarious similarities between myself and others on here.
It is a shame that like a lot of "hobbies" these days, things are expensive and being 12yrs old and saving up for a TM single-shot Glock 17 to happily cover your best mate in 'welts' in his back garden are a thing of the past. Seems like you need to be 30+ with a decent income to do anything these days. Anyway, I digress again!
So you want a hobby that's not dangerous, not too nerdy, very social and fitness based?? Is Airsoft the answer I'm looking for??
How did you get into this sport?
I'm normal. Married. Deplore violence and love a good Rom-com however I do like a good gun. For me, 80's movies got me fascinated with them. 'Die Hard' specifically.
I couldn't believe how futuristic and small Hans' H&K P7M13 was and in 'Die Hard II', loved it when John reloaded his Barretta 92F under the scaff and the noise when he chambers the slide with his thumb. Awesome.
Had the lame SWAT leader realised he was talking to the future T1000, he may have taken more evasive action when raising his MP5 in anger.
"Hey, what do I look like to you?!"
"A sitting duck",.. What a line.
