Hey Guys-
My name's Chris, but I've always gone by my last name, Reynolds. I'm 29, a native of Arizona, and a 5 year veteran of the Navy.
I've been wanting to get into airsoft for a long time. Shooting the "real thing" is getting old simply because it's so costly, not to mention limited to target shooting. I dabbled in paintball a while ago, but for whatever reason didn't stick with it. There's always been something more appealing to me with airsoft. I guess it's because I had pellet guns as a kid.
Right now I'm looking at AEGs and pistols and figuring out what route I want to take to start off with. Luckily, when the time comes for me to buy, I'll have some room to play with money wise, so I can get something that I like and feels right. I already have a lot of tactical and outdoor gear, so at least I'm not starting with absolutely nothing.
I'm really looking forward to playing wherever the games might be. I especially love doing objective or scenario type games. Airsoft and airsoft gaming is new to me, but I'm no stranger to the Arizona outdoors and firearms in general. I'm expert qualified (well, it's been a few years) in the 9MM, the M14 Rifle and M16, so I don't plan on shooting myself in the eye or anything like that.
I'm really glad this forum is available and I look forward to getting to know the airsoft folks in Arizona.
Thanks!
