New Piece of Meat

Hello all, just thought I'd introduce myself. The name is steve, and after attending a game last weekend, I've determined that Airsoft is going to be my new sport, because it's year round and loads of fun. I'm 23 and enjoy martial arts, so this is a way to keep active that might actually be relatively cheaper for me

I'll probably be laying down some serious cash for gear after christmas, so expect to see a lot of me around XT come the new year...

it's cheaper than playing other "proffessional" sports like Hockey or Football tho... except rugby.. all you need are cleats and a fast car to get you to the emergency room :P

BTW Welcome to XT, have you gotten your first neckshot yet? i have :P

I got my first neck shot... It stung like hell, but was awesome at the same time. Thanks for the welcome.

Also thank you to Toastmaster, 204Hoe, and Valk for the welcomes. And Neverhood, at least I wont be alone in getting owned... Thanks for the welcome.

ak spetznas, all needed accessories, good charger... BB's... Gear... I priced it out to be about 1200-ish when I'm all done... Unless I manage to find great deals... but that's not too bad.
