Airsoft as a Midlife Crisis?

[Probe]

Back to Airsoft after 10+ years & looking to run as hard as I can before i'm too old.  I'm in Liverpool/Wirral area & looking forward to knocking the dust off the muscle memory in game rather than lockdown plinking, so recommendations for decent sites and game days would be gratefully received.

 

Look forward to seeing you on the field..... especially in my sight picture.

Welcome. As midlife crisises go airsoft is probably one of the better options. It's less likely to kill you than a super bike or sports car and less likely to upset the other half than a mistress

Welcome back Probe.

I think you'll find that the newer weaponry generally works better than the old pewpews and for less money.

 

Don't worry, I'm on my second mid-life crisis 😆

Welcome.

I'd like to say I'm on a mid life crisis too but I'd have lie about my age.

Hi @Probe

Welcome to the funny farm. Come in sit down and take the weight off 🙂

Yep thats my take on it. Run with a gun while its still fun!

30, hardly midlife crisis lol, I've got underwear older than you 😜.

Whatever age, all's good for Airsoft 👍

30? I can’t remember what that even is 😂

lol well I certainly feel old. It's a weird feeling leaving your twenties behind. I don't feel like a spring chicken anymore and the body isn't as fluid as it used to be.😅
But I guess that happens when you got a rug rat running around too.😆

Until you've bought a 911 (and not the pistol), a F430, and then possibly a green Lambo and then a Sunseeker... you ain't even had a midlife crisis.

Oh plus the Tiffany rings to go with the supermodel girlfriend.... 😂

if by mid-life i'm doing well enough to afford all of that i don't think "crisis" is gonna be the right term....

Lol, remember thinking people 30+ were ancient & it seemed such a long way away, now I can't remember being 30 & I recently became a grandfather, times moving too fast all of a sudden😱

At least with grandkids you can give them back. Also don't forget to let the grandchild get away with stuff that would've gotten the parents a massive bollocking at that age

I've certainly got guitar picks older ! 

 

And come to think of it I've still got the MG I bought at 17 , which is way more than 30 years ago !

SWAT Airsoft are starting to run games at their woodland site at Parkgate from April. I have had some great days there.
