rossdzy 3 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 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 Link to post Share on other sites

jim1h 6 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Russe11 1,225 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Looks like they now run the Depot in Glasgow https://www.facebook.com/nomadairsoft 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Supporters Esoterick 729 Posted March 10, 2014 Supporters Share Posted March 10, 2014 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 to the forum Link to post Share on other sites

Garfs 6 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Welcome mate - I only started this year and have just turned 40 Loving every minute of it (apart from the credit card bills :-) ) Link to post Share on other sites
Baz JJ 860 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites

ak2m4 355 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 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 :-) Link to post Share on other sites
Russe11 1,225 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 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..... Link to post Share on other sites
rossdzy 3 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Ha ha sorry but no sheep! Im not too far from Ayr if you know where that is? Link to post Share on other sites
Russe11 1,225 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 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. Best Pint ever at the hotel in Glentrool This is my bike at the beach in Saltcoats Link to post Share on other sites
rossdzy 3 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 I was waiting for you to say that you had a puncture! I cut a lot of hedges on those roads and folk on bikes dont like it! It is a nice run round the shore road looking over the water to Arran.one of the nice bits about living here. Link to post Share on other sites
