Am I too old? Too disabled?

[DoomPossum]

Hello there! I'm 47 and I have Spina Bifida Meningocele and an incomplete spinal cord injury. I can walk, running is not happening though! The shooting part is not really a problem as I was involved with the GB Paralympic program for a while but Wheelchair Rugby League took priority at the time, now retired.
I have a weak left hand/arm. I've tried a few replicas at Modern Warrior near me in Kent.

Yeah, you’ll be fine. Walking and crawling is a great way to play outside. Be sneaky, you will have a great time.

Find a hedge, park yourself in it, become a sentient landmine.

Its the perfect counter to the kids running around at full speed.

When I take my sniper rifle I tend to lay down most of the day lol

Get yourself a decent long range rifle and some sort of ghillie and you can just find a spot and be a bush all game.

Welcome

You're definitely not too old, you're only a year older than me and there's a few on here who make us look like youngsters. As for too disabled, ultimately you're the only one who can answer that but you don't need to be running around to play, leave that to the younger ones and play at a pace which suits you.

Welcome, you'll be fine, I've gone from being a professional athlete to someone who struggles with stairs & couldn't run if my life depended on it, & while i hope to get some of my mobility back, pending surgeries, I know at 58 I'm never gonna be as good as I was.
But that won't stop me playing, just gotta adapt your playing style, & tbh, while fitness & mobility is definitely a plus in airsoft, it can be countered by skill, stealth, & general sneaky bastardness .
Lol, I even got a patch.

Last time I played at SouthCoast CQB there was a guy in a wheelchair getting stuck in bigtime and getting kills.

Does that help to answer your question?
