Hi guys,

Been having a look at these forums for a while now and thought i might as well join!

Im just turning 37 and after buying a few guns from jbb guns i splashed out and bought a G&P SR16 URX and what a difference in quality!

Pity its a two tone,but as i live on a farm,i just have games here with a few mates. I feel too old to go to games!

Cheers guys

Dont worry mate. Im 51 and play. At my local site there are even older guys running around.

Which part of the country are you in ?

 

[rossdzy]

South Ayrshire mate,good to see plenty of older guys playing! Think my closest site is 50 miles away.

def don't worry about your age mate, you are probably average age or close to it!

 

[rossdzy]

Thats good to know then! Does anybody know if Nomad airsoft are still open at Stevenson? Other than that im looking at glasgow.

Old man here, had my first skirmish last week and loved it, lots of older and younger players than me and didn't feel out of place.. welcome.

Looks like they now run the Depot in Glasgow

Theres always http://www.cumbria-airsoft.com/ if you don't want to go to Glasgow. Check out Airbana http://www.airsoftmap.net/Skirmish/ for a map of airsoft locations.

I wouldn't worry about your age mate, there's been chaps in their 40s and 50s at every game i've been to. I've never seen a player's age be an issue.

Welcome mate - I only started this year and have just turned 40

Loving every minute of it (apart from the credit card bills )

I must admit that I don't get much enjoyment from steal the flag type skirmishes and get a lot more satisfaction from something bordering on milsim or filmsim.

Welcome to the forums.

Welcome, I'm 40 this year and although I don't get to as many skirmishes as I used to still enjoy it and don't feel out of place. Probably like most chaps my age I started off playing Paintball back in the 80's and then picked this up 10 years ago. Where about's are you based? Could do with a mate with a farm

If he starts asking for provocative photo's of your sheep.....

 

[rossdzy]

Ha ha sorry but no sheep! Im not too far from Ayr if you know where that is?

 

[Russe11]

Sure do. I cycled from John O Groats to Bristol last year. I went via Arran so had a day where I took the ferry to Saltcoats and then down the coast to south of Ayr then over the hill to Newton Stewart. I bust 3 spokes in my rear wheel on a pothole near Burn's cottage and had to fix the wheel at the roadside. It was apparently the hottest week they had known in that part of the world in years and I was looking forward to some shade going through woodland (on the map) to Newton Stewart but some fooker had chopped all the trees down and I almost passed out as I ran out of water going up the big hill.
