Taking some Leave, possibly leaving all together.

its a shame, the community has lost a good person, good luck though in whatever you decide to do instead

Best of luck.

Thanks gents. Ill still be on the forum but not as much. I'm normally on every single day but need to take a proper break from Airsoft to see if i actually miss it or not.

I think you should try a new site. Drive right down south and play at ucap bunker. Scares the sh*t out of you playing in near darkness and at some games total darkness. If that doesnt make you buzz you defo know you have made a right choice to stop.

Might try that one day, i've seen YouTube video's of that place looks mint. Perfect chance to try my NVs out

Hmm you say that but when guys turn around with an led tourch on their gun nv's would blind you. Is a great site. Defo recomend to anyone. And seperates men from the boys with a full auto anywhere and 350fps limit! Me, my bro and a few other lads took an m249 at about 5/6foot to the back of the calves, stung like mad but was a great mass kill by the m249 gunner!

Im new to the sport and may have it wrong but in my experiance with other interests its always seemed that when things dull down and become mundane its genrally the atittude of others that drags you down. Take a break completly, pack all the gear away, wait till you start to itch (which you will) then go some place new and meet a new crowd that inspires you to play.

It's not full eye NV's, it's only goes over one eye and i've bought it that way for that exact reason .

I'm going to stay on the forum as i usually would as it would be a shame not to, this is ref to my last post.

Hi Qlimax

I kind of pop on & off forums because too much involvement in any hobby can be oversaturation.

Last summer I had a few bad games & then some bad luck that really hit me hard financially and it almost ended my airsoft hobby, I then went to a skirmish & it was an attrocious day (poor turn out, poor games, some of the regulars were being a bit arsey with each other & there was a really bad atmsphere) I just pretty much decided to quit. I really didnt see the point of it all.

I have other hobbies that I love so have now gone back into them with more enthusiasm than before. but yet again I feel like going back to airsoft, so made a deal with myself, I will get on with my other persuits (Playing bass guitar & mountain biking) during the spring/summer months & go back to Airsoft in Autumn & Winter. for some reason because I will have a natural break between all the differant hobbies I have it feels as though skirmishing will feel new again when I go back to it.

Because I have been away from it all for almost a year now I'm actually excited to go again......I'm riding my bike almost every weekend & playing Bass most nights, I now feel like I have found a balance in my life that wasnt there before.

To me being creative is a part of me, feeling freedom & solitude is another.....then adrenline of being in a intense firefight is also a part of me. I found balance & it worked for me.....Maybe it may work for you, i'm not sure but thought I'd share my weird mind drivel with you in hopes that it could help.

I hope this makes sense lol

When My son was little I did find it hard to be away from him & if I did do anything away from home, I kind of felt guilty about leaving him & I was never that into what I was doing because of that. Now he's older I do most things with him so I kill two birds.

All I can say mate, have a break, ask yourself what makes you happy & do that. Life is too short to worry about playing soldiers with others. life is about enjoying whatever your doing, not trying to enjoy it. I know If I wasnt getting a buzz from it, I'd chuck in the towel tomorrow with no regrets & move on with my life.

Hope you get sorted mate.

All the best & good luck with your decision

Makes perfect sense mate.

Defo right about feeling guilty, when I go for a day of airsoft I feel bad as it’s a day I could spend with my boy.

I think I’m doing to much airsoft related stuff, play the game, making Kydex holsters for people, forums, custom paint jobs for people, fixing them for people as well as my own etc etc etc.

100% taking a break to see if I miss it enough to come back and play again. I think at the moment it’s taking over my life and it needs to stop.

Mate

Then take a breather play with your boy.

Important things sometimes just feels right & when you need "you time" take it.

Life's for living mate not routine.

Keep smiling mate.

Fump you've got it in one. Think once I've wrapped up my last Kydex job that'll be it for a while. I'll stay on the forum as it's always good to help others where possible.
