Hi, I'm Rusty Badger, another 40-something guy from Edmonton. Recently moved from BC, where I ran a paintball field. Nobody around my area was interested in airsoft, so I wasn't able to get into the sport until I moved here. Sold all my paintball gear and sunk the money into airsoft, but still waiting for my AV to kick in here so I can shop some more.
I'm looking for people to shoot with who understand that some of us have lives outside of airsoft and have to make a living, care for our families, etc. I've played paintball for over 20 years, and it's the same in that sport as in airsoft: you have the hard-core guys with tonnes of disposable income and no families, who want to play every spare minute and have all the fancy gear. Nothing wrong with that, of course- I was the same! But hopefully I can find folks who won't get tetchy when I don't come out every Saturday!
All the other players I've met so far here have been awesome guys, and I'm looking forward to meeting more of you.
