Its been a while since I was active in the Airsoft scene and even longer since I have played an active game. Its not for lack of wanting to play, Anyone who has known me, knows my heart and soul are very much into Airsoft.

The trouble with it is actually a one-two punch of sorts, My finances and my body.
