Forget the pews, tell us about rhe girl!

Yeah but aren't you about 7 foot tall? Im sure you're average for a taller chap! 😁

Its a full size bigger than ive been used to for about 10 years! 😪

Thank you all for replying, I don't feel too bad about only managing once a month or so now.

Unfortunately its a part of modern food manufacturing. You either put the price up, due to increasing costs, or make the portion smaller to keep the price same. Ive worked in the food industry for 10 years and its becoming more frequent. Thanks for buying Muller though, helps to keep me in a job. 👍😁

Im lucky that being single, and my daughter plays too, i dont have to worry about eating into family time. 😁

How often is constantly? Hope you don't mind but I'm pinching that. 😁

@Gunboat Diplomat yes, I'm the same. My daughter played the last time and loved it so all costs are doubled. I know you all joke about how expensive it is but i presumed you meant just buying gear! 🤣

I live in Whitchurch, Shropshire. I play at a woodland site, Alpha55 but that is 35 miles away. There are 3 or 4 that are a little closer but i know the guy that owns/operates it, so for the moment I'm a little loyal, but they all only open at the weekend. Theres is one that is woodland that does occasional evening/night games but i have enough trouble avoiding tree roots when i can see them! Yes, exactly the same for me. The prospect of staying up longer than i have to just doesn't appeal.

I work shifts so my weekends arent always free. I last played about 3 weeks ago but aren't playing again for another 3 weeks! Add to that the cost of actually playing, never mind the gear! Ive had a look to see if there's any indoor/cqb that are open in the week local to me but can only find 1. I suppose that's one of the few downsides to living in a rural ish area, everything is at least an hour away! So how often do you all play?

Some size 38 waist camo trousers. 😪

Ok, I understand the reasoning behind UKARA and I understand that you have to play 3 games at the same site in 2 months to qualify but I'm confused! Well, i have questions at the very least. Whats happens if i don't like the first site i play at and go to a second site? That means i have to play 4 times! And then what if i dont like the second site? I then have to play 5 times . . . ad infinitum! That's a bit crap! Read, on here, that someone has been playing for years, has never registered with UKARA but is buying new RIFs like they're going out of fashion! How? What are the other defences, apart from theatrical, that you can use? I was at my local (ish) shop a couple of weeks ago and was looking at a rather pretty little Sig pistol. I was on the verge of slapping my money on the counter when i mentioned that i probably couldnt buy it as in not registered. The lad said that, because of our conversation, he was satisfied that I played and I could buy it! If its that easy why do I need, or even want, to register? I didn't buy it but if the bill for repairing my car comes back cheaper than i expect, I'll be straight back to throw some money at him.

I did the same thing with my daughter(14) when we played. It was only the 2 of us, so we covered each other but we made more forward progress and got closer to the objective than others. I really enjoyed the team playing part of it and would love to find a team to join, build up skill levels and Dominate!!!! lol

I have a 3d printer that uses PLA filament. Even though the filament is made from all organic ingredients, it's only biodegradable in very specific circumstances, involving heat and pressure. So not biodegradable at all really. As Bio BBs are made from PLA are they the same, not biodegradable? Is it just a marketing thing to make landowners feel like they're being good? Or are BBs different?

A decent MP5. Ive only played a couple of games so far and picked up a lovely Valken M4 but my dream RIF is an MP5. It was seared on to my brain by the hooligans from Hungerford going for a little tea party at the Iranian Embassy when i was a wee nipper.

What do you do when a snake bites you? Take anti-hissss-tamines.

@RostokMcSpoons ah yes, good points, didnt think of it that way. I dont have a garden to even mess about in.

As the title really! I'm in North Shropshire and looking for an indoor range to play with hop settings, set up sights etc. before my next game, which won't be for about a month due to working shifts! Anyone know of anywhere that's not too far away?

ok, here we go again . . . . After a crappy few days in work I didn't want to do much on my first day off (Sunday), so I found some things to print for my RIF. Didn't like the small one so printed the bigger one. The bigger one feels much better but there is a bit too much play between the picatinny and the handle So I'm going to have a go at packing it out but I can see that I'll just resize it and print again, maybe in a funky dual coloured matte filament. LInks to the parts . . . . Small One Bigger One

Welcome, another newbie here. I got Bolle Tracker 2 eye pro, very snug fit and haven't steamed up yet and a Deltamike mini. The deltamike is a snood with a protective mesh over your mouth to cover your teeth. Im happy with both so far.

Thanks for your replies. I've stripped my RIF down this evening and had a proper look at how it all works. I've got a better understanding of what's going on now so, apart from cosmetics and scopes, it will be left alone until its been well used.
