Another older guy, howdy! There's a few of the over 50 crowd here still shootin the kiddos.
I see you're in Mayer. -Watch out for all those yuppie Kalifornicaters in Prescott.. But, they do have JG there ;)
Dayton, Spazz, Slinky and Exarach are all top-notch airsmiths in the Valley. You should meet them.

Hey my names Matt D from S.V. I've been playing airsoft and shooting real steel for about 8-9 years now (mostly airsoft since the price of ammo is getting RIGGED!). I'm a member (Charlie-1 squad leader) of the new Team Knight Watch Milsim group in Sierra Vista. I also play guitar, play video games, love classic cars and trucks (loved my flat black 78 F-150 302), go hiking camping on a semi regular basis and chill with my girl friend majority of the time to keep from going insane. followed a link to this site on http://www.meetup.com/Sierra-Vista-Airsoft/

New kid on the block!

I recently moved to Phoenix from Washington state, where I was quite involved with my local airsoft team. I started playing in the sixth grade with a Gold Rosita K4 (a really terrible M4 with less than 200fps and 18rd. magazines), a green flannel shirt, a balaclava from a ninja costume and a pair of plastic goggles from a laser tag set. Since then, my collection has grown but right now I have no working weapons. Unfortunately it's been a couple of years but I've been trying to get back into it for awhile now. I've been quite busy and things will only get busier as I take on a second job in September, but airsoft is definitely something I want back in my life.

In the way of gear, I just finished the basics for my lightweight AU/A-TACS loadout and I've passed my ACU to my roommate who wishes to join in with me for his first time airsofting. My biggest issue at the moment is that I have no primary and my secondary is an ABS plastic springer P99 (ouch). I sent my KWA M4 off to my friend in Alaska, and hopefully in a few weeks it'll come back as an Mk.18 CQBR with a GBB M9, but at the moment I am next to weaponless. All I need to finish my gear is a face mask, goggles and A-TACS pants that fit me, then I will focus on the guns.

My roommate and I are currently looking for fields to play a few matches in and get reoriented. I'm not going to pretend I'm good--I'm quite rusty but I look forward to putting whatever remaining skills I have in the field >:D

I just turned 20, I've been an avid gamer most of my life, I make and play guitars and I draw quite frequently.

Well, howdy. Come out to Tempe Paintball/Airsoft sometime. You can rent a mask, M4, and ammo for ten bucks. It's a good CQB place and some of us play on Half-Price Thursdays from 5-10pm.

New to AA, but not new to airsoft or military-style operations at all. Former US Army MP here, and before that my marksmanship experience goes back to when I was a preteen when I was actively involved shooting competitively nation wide. Some kids played sports and did other extracurricular activities, I trained my trigger squeeze four to five days a week. Currently in the risk mitigation and protection industry and have been since I got out of the Army. I've played in a few local games and a few larger ones outside of the valley before my Army days and since then have gained a slew of knowledge I apply today in the workplace and hope to continue to apply as I reenter the world of airsoft and Milsim. If anyone wants to get to know me a little better feel free to PM me, otherwise I look forward to getting to know everyone in this community!

Hi everyone.  Just moved to the Phoenix area last month from Maine. I shoot IDPA and USPSA and 3 Gun with real firearms, but the cost of ammo and desire to just get out and do something is making me look towards airsoft. I'm just starting my search for good fields to play on and eventually may purchase some gear of my own.
