Looks like the mall is the place to go. I had heard that it’s not the best place to start for a newbie but looks like a few of you guys are willing to take a couple of newbies under your wing. I will sort out a date with my friend and see when we can both make it. I work late sometimes but I’m getting the feeling a Thursday might be a good shout for a couple of beginners. Don’t want to walk out looking like a cheese grater. What are most of you guys wearing for eye pro. I thought the full on ski goggles was the best way to go but 90% of the videos I have seen are of the sunglass type. Don’t mind buying these prior to going as may still have previous occupants sweat on the rental protection Expand To be honest the Sunday is the better day for new players as it is a more varied skill level. Although to be honest there are not really any players who go there who are exactly superstars. I would recommend using the rental gear as contrary to popular belief not everyone enjoys it and then at least you haven't wasted cash It is cleaned so you won't catch anything. It is always best to get a game or two to see what suits you as we are all different and every recommendation is biased by our personal choices. Post up when down and I will do my best to make it and then you will get the pleasure of me giving you the new visitor tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then get all irate when the quicker more mobile players roll over them. As much as I like airsoft and have met some 1st class people I do sometimes look round a safezone and just have to shake my head.
