Bradley Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hi guys, am new to air soft and would like to know where some skirmish sites are in and around Manchester? I am 17 and therefore know that my parents will have to gift me a weapon which is fine, just need somewhere to try out any recommendations for weapons/manufactures/gear etc will be much appreciated! Thanks guys, Brad Please PM me if you wish to do so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted July 7, 2010 Supporters Share Posted July 7, 2010 you are well situated man. If you are on the east side, you have the killhouse (run by first and only) or on the north and west you have bolton woolands. and if you can get over here, you have first and only's hey wood site in huddersfield. basically, you are well catered for as far as sites go. weapons: how close to being 18 are you?

Bradley Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 how close to being 18 are you? I am 17 and 18 in march! Is it worth just waiting until I am 18 to buy my weapon or can I buy a good quality 2 tone gun now and then get it re-painted when I am 18? I really want to get into airsoft but I work on Saturdays so can't get to Bolton woodlands and would struggle for lifts to other sites... I could get to the academy in Rochdale most probably but prefer woodlands more than anything! It would be awesome if there were like car pools or something to sites all over England which everyone chipped in to petrol money! Let me know if you can help anyway mate!

Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted July 7, 2010 Supporters Share Posted July 7, 2010 google first and only forums. register and make yourslef known in the newbie thread. from there, you can ask the marshalls at what would be your loacl site what they would reccommend. there are two that seem reasonable to get to if rochdale would be your local site. the academy and the killhouse. You can either wait for a gun, renting untill you are UKARA registered, but that is a year off. If you have the money tosplash out on something nice now, I would do so. If not, jsut wait and save up. (for gear, you are looking at around 100-200 quid, for a NICE gun, you are looking around 250-350) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to start playing and get myself on a couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted July 8, 2010 Supporters Share Posted July 8, 2010 THIS is eprfect for the areas you will be in it is an m4, so bits are easy to get, its a good make, solid and is compact. plus, once you are UKARA'd the bits to make it rif will cost maybe £30 to £60 depending on what you buy stock wise.
