Mortious

Thanks everyone, Getting some boots, get my Defence and go from there I guess. Loads of really useful reading on here which is great. I guess now I got to pick a Camo. I know its purely a aesthetic thing but its a tough choice.

I think my plan is to hit Hockley up to get my membership using their £5 rentals, then look into other sites with my own kit, Renting is far to expensive in most places. Defiantly good to see the sites around here arn't to bad, im more then happy to do the travel if the people or places are good.

I live in Mid Essex and Hockley is the CQB im talking about, I checked out their range yesterday which wasn't to bad. Ill grab some boots, didn't think they would be a major priority with the indoors CQB but ill grab some now. As for rifles, i guess ill wait and see if CQB is for me. Ill also check out of skirmishes outdoors at a couple of local sites and make a weapon decision off of that. I don't know if I like the scorpion prices for my first gun.

Hi all, new player from Essex here. Been wanting to try airsoft for years, however no friends locally would join me. Decided that its time to go skirmish anyway so ill be that loner at skirmishes . Was able to rent a shooting range and a few guns yesterday to get a feel for different weapons, how they work, loading etc. Now looking at joining a few skirmishes over the coming week. I'm lucky enough to have a CQB site and a few other non CQB sites nearby which leads me to a dilemma. The CQB site has a fps limit of 280, the other sites appear to be 350. Do I need to purchase 2 different weapons 1 for each ? Either way ill be taking my purchases slow, building up equipment and renting for the next 3 skirmishes at least (I want that membership). Goto pick a Molle first and some goggles, then Ill look at boots camo etc when I move from indoors (CQB) to outdoors. Any ways im always up for chatting to locals or further afield, and if anyone local wants to take a 31 year old Airsoft Noob under their wing then thats even better!
