Thank you for the warm welcome guys. We’re good for boots and clothing for now but I think some webbing or tactical vest would be useful for me, my son already has one My poor son caught a BB to the neck on Sunday and it really hurt him. He toughed it out but made us realise the importance of covering bare skin. He did have a scarf but it had slipped down. The face masks we hired were big plastic full face affairs with built in mesh goggles, they were pretty cumbersome but did the job. We might look at buying something similar, as noob’s we’re going to take a lot of hits so protection ranks above looking good… I keep hearing about BB fragments and mesh goggles but as we both wear glasses anyway I’m thinking this is the way to go.

My son (11) and I went to our first skirmish on Sunday. We had a blast and are thinking of taking this up as a hobby. We’ve got lots of questions but will browse the site before asking something that’s probably been asked a million times. We are going to go a few more time to make sure it’s for us before buying kit but any advice on what should be first on the list is welcome! I’ve got camo clothing on order, my son’s already got some. Thanks for reading
