Must be something in the water, I'm 47 this year mate and just getting started after a very very long break from airsoft. Additional timber, wear and tear means I wont be running about like a loon and 'speedsofting' but I intend having fun. Whats better than running round in the woods with a (real looking) toy gun???

BASC and Sportsmans do the same thing effectively, BASC is bigger obvs so if the accept Sportsmans then cant see why they wouldn't. In fact they have an airgun only membership which would surely constitute a defence?

Cool, looking forward to giving the local places a try, there's Battle Lakes in Tunbridge wells too which I hear is good but a bit of a trek, will see how I get on at the local ones. The kit rabbit hole is too deep, that said.... M60 you say?? 😆

This does not describe me at all! 😆

Thought there was an expiration date, thanks fellas. I know there are some that accept other memberships, was surprised to see Sportsman's Assoc accepted by some. I've joined that as I'm a sporting shotgun user and quite keen to defend gun owner rights.

Sounds like its a no for me, I'm not the charging about type and I've not played in a while, something with better range will be for me.

I've got a Bo Fabarm STF12. Was wondering how practical a tri shot pump is as a primary, I suspect its not but as I'm looking to get back into things and have one so thought it was worth asking.

Per the title really. Does it expire? If I can find my old number can I still just use that or do just need to do the 3 in 2? Not a problem but thought it was worth asking.

@JimFromHorsham another local then! I think I'm going to head over to Holmbush after the Easter Hols and try out the one over in Crawley down, will probably get a few half day sunday morning sessions under my belt to get my UKARA sorted dont think I know my old number and I'm guessing it expires? Would be good to meet up with others as I'll be flying solo these days, the others I used to shoot with are not keen on running about in the woods anymore sadly. I know what you mean re the kit whore side of things, I'm terrible for it. I think I'll just keep to operator gear if I can, one rifle, one sidearm and no fake mil clothing, check shirts and jeans with the occasional Molle vest did the job in the real world more often than not. 😉

Played a fair bit quite a long time ago (a very very long time ago) you could buy springer kits in hobby shops when I started out! Not been to a site in a while, probably 5 years since I last went to the place in Holmbush (Horsham). At 46 I'm in good shape but I'm not exactly one of life's runners, remember the last time I went there were loads of youngsters running about like loons, was wondering if there's still much of a role for the slower player these days? Was thinking a DMR role would probably suit, obvs need to get some games in and also see if I can get back into customising guns to a decent standard. I'm upgrading a friend's AAP-01 for him, sadly he's about as not local as it gets so we're not going to get games in quickly once its done, he's super keen to have me join his hobby though.
