newbie getting into airsoft

[bloodshot]

i bought a CA M15a4 tactical carbine about a year ago because i wanted to get into airsoft..and that was pretty much the end of it. just recently a new airsoft shop opened about a mile from where i live (Sheboygan) so now im trying to get into it and actually go to games and stuff

question...do i need a team? because i dont know anyone who plays really, so could i just show up at an event and still have a chance to play or not really..

You can show up anywhere provided theres no set rules on limited teams, which is pretty rare. Your welcome at all fields you can probably find.

^^ read that on teams. Its a mixed blessing depending what you want out of it.
I love it personally, but its mostly the people that make that difference.

Welcome! Yeah, no worry about being independent, I've been going that way for 1.5 years, and I love it! Being on a team is cool too, you play with alot of great people and make friends with people. You also gain a reputation, and respect too. Again, welcome!
