Playing Pew Pew like a kid when I'm 51...

[GAMBLE]

Hi @Daddy Foote ?

Glad you enjoyed it despite the pain!

Numbers can vary during the day, it’s a good workout and if you survive the entire day, I consider that a win! ???

Here’s a link to my channel! ???

Getting shot in the finger is the worst thing in the world

(Literally - I have been shot elsewhere with less pain than one in the finger)

I dislike the loss of touch when using gloves, but would use fingerless gloves for some hand protection, and also full finger gloves but cut down in spots.

In recent years I’ve developed Raynauds in one finger, which has been attributed to a nerve injury.  (Probably when I was shot as a photographer)

So now I don’t intend to be on field without a full finger at least on that hand. I’m likely to be wearing one full glove and one fingerless glove

My first post here, and Yes, you read that right. 51 years of age and I have only just crawled out from under my rock and discovered Airsoft - well about a month ago. Turns out my partner's son has been doing it for years...

So, while still full of festive cheer (booze) I agreed to have a go. So I went for a game of CQB in The Mill in Wigan on the 30th December and....I'm hooked. I loved it. My body didn't like it like though. Legs felt like rubber and struggled to climb stairs for 3 days. Lol. And my body looked like it had chicken pox that turned into 19 multicoloured bruises over the next day or so.
Well I am 51 and 1.5 stone over weight... Which is one of the reasons why I went, to get a bit fitter...
After changing my job from an active plumber and builder I got an office job 6 months ago for a software company and piled on the weight. Struggling to put your shoes on, being late for work 'cos the shirt you just ironed was too tight (true story) I had to start doing something and what can be more fun that running around like a 9 year old playing Pew Pew???
I've had a few goes now, all at the same place. Learning the CQB site so I can focus on improving my skills, what little I have. I must be getting better though as only 2 bruises after the last skirmish. With improved skill and a bit more experience, next week I'm off to another CQB venue to play Pew Pew
Wish me luck!!!

Ps. Any advice on how to improve my CQB game?

I’ve just turned 55 , couple of team mates are 56, 55 and 52 so you’ve got plenty ahead of you ! ?

so welcome to the bottomless money pit that is AIRSOFT ! ?‍

Welcome to the sport. I'm a newcomer my self though a little younger at 33. My first game was in October. Received my UKARA and own my own now. Had it out on 2 game days so far. I was hooked from the first 10 minutes. Glad you have found something new to and active to get stuck into. Sounds like you having a whale of a time. 

so welcome to the bottomless money pit that is AIRSOFT ! ?‍
