New to Airsoft

[Cal0303]

Hello All,

 

I'm new here to Airsoft, I have had past experience with about 5 matches in total but this was when I was 15-16 and I'm now 19 so it's been a few years but wanting to return to the fun now I have the funds to enable me to do so.

 

I'm looking at starting up again but have no one to go to games with so looking for people to join in with if possible, I'm located in the West Midlands area, Birmingham/Halesowen if any one is local.

 

I'd be looking at hiring from the site for the first few games even though I do still have my old rifle, but will then look into purchasing all my own gear shortly after the receiving my UKARA.

[skarra333]

Welcome chap.

I'm in Stoke but hail from Wolves. Which sites are you looking at?

[b1n0gHo5t]

Yo!
also from brum
if you find any sites that ain't a ballache to get to without a motor please feel free to let me know

[Cal0303]

Hello all thanks for the warm welcome,

 

My past airsoft experiences have been at 'The Grange' and their CQB site, forgot the name over in Coventry.

 

But I don't mind any site really as long as its good and has hire possibilities for now.

 

But I am able to travel but only when I'm hiring from the site as I only have a motorbike, so once I get my gear etc the ball ache will begin haha.

Motorbike is not a problem I know a few people who use them to get to games. Look at some of the backpack style gunbags.

[Cal0303]

I'll have to have a look into that then, thanks for letting me know they was out there somewhere haha

Yes that's very true, especially when we have our own gear and walk onto the bus or train dressed in our Gear with gun bags haha. They may not even accept us,

But yes motorcycles are great and sounds like a good choice. I have a Kawasaki Er6-n

Oh and you may want to try First & only (they have 2-3 sites in kiddy) and some other places

they also do your Ukara for you & have hire guns (though when i went they were not the greatest) i mean both ones i had were mashed to f*ck and higly doubtful they were shooting straight

Ahh okay then well is it to dark?

[b1n0gHo5t]

Haha dark is one word for it..its a old Militry bunker complex & its not got much in the way of lighting so i've been told

& its a Single shot only place

[Cal0303]

Ahh okay, I'll see if anyone has any decent videos on youtube to see if its any good but single shot isn't to bad, stops people going crazy.

 

Have you looked at anywhere you'd like?

The Grange is good, your not having to run everywhere unless your that type of player. Nice wide spread out fields but with good coverage and obstacles to take cover, with varied elevation points and switches to CQB to when you enter the compounds.

Hahaa awww unfortunately airsoft rifles don't have that much range so you'll have to move a little;)
