wow.
for weeks i have been seeing this topic come up but untill now have yet to check it out.
i have been involved in pretty much every aspect of airsoft with the exception of running my own store, and i am not far from doing that.
i, like several of the old-timer crowd, got my first 10-15 guns from ron.
this site has gotten a lil low on attendance and articles, i used to be on here every day, but i was always into the tuning and performance side of things. aa just didnt have the technical aspects that i was looking for and i found a couple of other sites that fed my craving for knowlage of the technical side of airsoft. and aa kinda went to the way side for me, i would check in a couple times a week but i stopped posting as much as i once did (not that i ever posted alot). i still make it to games as much as i can, and i realy wish i could make it more of the milsim games. but i just dont make the money needed to feed my craving for high end guns and big milsim ops. another problem is time, i see what happened to ron happening to me. instead of making the monthly ops that teams host, im at command post trying to keep up with the amount of guns that come in for repairs/upgrades. instead of getting some of my project guns put together i have multiple customers guns at my house that require my attention. im lucky to keep 1 gun up and running at a time. and i have thousands invested in well over 40 guns. and of course i cant bring myself to sell them cause most of them came from ron.
as the teams i am part of dont realy play much, (airsoft addicts/saguaros) if at all, and i dont seem to be invited to some of the old timer private games that i hear about after they happen i find myself at almost the same pace that i started when i first started playing airsoft. im welcome to run with a few people but am mostly a lonewolf that everybody knows. dont ask me wehere i was going with this last paragraph, i lost my train of thought halfway through.
i have watched airsoft in az grow and change over the past 15+years i have been playing. things are a lil cheaper and they have gotten better while mostly staying the same.
im kinda lost in my own head right now thinking of old times and cant realy think straight so im gonna go for now.
