Paintballer converted!

[Ark]

Hi,

Am Ryan, also known as Ark.

Played paintball for 8 or so years, all different levels from the original pump days to European Tournaments. Played for the Clan in Scotland, worked at Paintball Alexandria (only paintball site in Scotland with two road legal tanks).

Still got all my Paintball gear including as I cant part to sell

Now I stay in Newcastle Upon tyne and want to get into airsoft, I have dabbled with it in the past but could never fully get into it. Now its my birthday today and I have decided its now or never.

Obviously the VCRA has made things a little more complex but I am struggling to find a decent community in the North East of England.

So i'll just be the sponge and you guys can pass on your experience?

Thanks
