Hi all I'm Dan from Cheshire looking to kick start new hobby in airsoft anyone local to me please give me a shout as I'm looking to join a group and find local airsoft spot 

 

Thanks 

[Rogerborg]

Ahoy and welcome.  Should be a few sites down there, I'll let the locals chime in.  If you don't find anyone looking for love, I'd encourage you to just book a rental day at any of the local sites and go along solo.  Airsoft is a very welcoming hobby, it's super easy to get talking to people.  All you have to do is ask someone about their gun and then your problem is getting them to stop talking to you. ?

Haha no worries thanks for the welcome look forward to talking anything airsoft with everyone

Hi Dan ? 

Come in,sit down,listen and be prepared for your life to change. Change for the better or for the worse is a question only you can answer. Let us know which in twelve months!

 

I know which answer I would put money on?

 

Laugh,cry but always call your hits ?

 

Enjoy

Regards 

[Junko]

Cheers pal

Welcome ?

Don't worry about joining a group.  Most of us started as loners.

Do plenty of reading to get an idea what its all about and then book yourself in a game as a rental to start.

Get talking to people at the tables and after a few game days you'll be in a group of regulars.

 

Have a look here for sites near you.

Hey @Junko, I’m a fellow Cheshire man myself. If you’re looking for sites to play at, jump on playairsoft.uk, there’s a few around North West. I’ve recently visited West Midlands and Yorkshire for my airsoft fix, as I’m touring the north of England to have a broader view of what’s available.

 

Welcome to the forum, and enjoy your stay!

 

EDIT: Looks like @EDcase beat me to it! ?

Welcome to the money pit that is airsoft. I swear a crack habit would be cheaper. 

 

I can't really recommend any sites as you're a bit far away from me, but as others have posted, don't be afraid to rock up on your lonesome as the majority of airsofters are a friendly bunch and will be happy to show off their kit. 

 

Also I recommend renting for your first few games as it'll help you work out what suits your style of play. You don't want to shell out a large sum if money on a gun or other gear only to find out you don't get on with it (eg I prefer SMGs and carbines over full size rifles)

Cheers man I'll contact outpost as that's my nearest within 20 minutes ☠️ then just decide on a date I'm going. Yeah don't want to rush into buying anything as I want to get feel for it first 

Cheers

Also remember to get stuck in, many new players join and take it slow and steady being too cautious about being shot. I think most people agree that the first game of the day is always a bit on your tip toes because you can't remember if it hurts or not but once you get hit for the first time in the day you have nothing to worry about. Also remember that the rental guns are not going to be perfect but will be good enough to hit anyone on the site. Lastly nothing is a silly idea if it works, sometimes sprinting into no man's land wins you the game
