Hello

[Johnyboy1976]

Hello I’m John from Aldershot.

As my eldest has recently turned 14 we are going to start to attend some Airsoft sites in near future.

I have a few weapons already as were procured for use as foreign weapon systems / training aids and stored in my armoury at work.

Had thought about starting up the hobby years ago but as my day job involves doing this type of stuff i never bothered and spent my weekend either walking the dogs or being lazy but my boy really wants to get into this so thought why not.

Welcome John

Its a great hobby for bonding with the kids.

 

All your questions can certainly be answered by searching the forum and doing plenty of reading 👍

Thanks for the welcome 😀

Cant wait to get started - just need to buy the boy a few little bits unless i can procure them through work .

Luckily i have more combats / sets of webbing than you can shake a stick at so don’t need to fork out on any of that.

Well had 1st game today and me and the young un loved it.

Couldn’t stay all day as had to get home for the youngest but both of us had a great day.

As its all a learning curve we now know what to expect / do better for next time.

We hired the guns but like a fool i forgot to fetch our bb’s and whilst i was only taking aimed shots to conserve ammunition my young un thought he was Arnie in predator.

I have ordered some de fogging spray for next timers young uns mask kept misting up  as well as a lower face protector for me as i took a few well placed hits to the head.

But 100 % be going again and be even better next year when my youngest can also attend.
