Mid(ish) 20s and I think it was around 2002/2003(ish).

Wierd Carl I thought you had been Skirmishing for more than a year!, I started in 2004 aged 19 first gun was a FAMAS F1 (was actual bestest gunz).

Me since i was 23 some 7 and something years ago.

I was tempted to start a "how much have you spent thread" but i do know the missus looks from time to time and following terminal boy's "burn all credit cared receipts" formula she's still under the impression that my airsoft spending is not quite into five figures yet.

1st Rule of Airsoft - Tell everyone not involved (including other halves) how cheap it is to skirmish.

2nd Rule of Airsoft - Deny everything.

3rd Rule of Airsoft - Burn the evidence.

Thank god those days are over for me, not under the thumb anymore! (until she sees this)

[shmook]

i started at 27, after a mate got an M16 for his b'day.

he wanted someone to try airsofting with, so i bought a classic army M4, 20 mids (10 each), some dpm/pro boots and 2 arktis vests and off we went!

been at it nearly 3 years now. spent a fortune and never looked back :D

[Kipper]

15 when I started, 20 now.

I just got a new pressure valve for my b'day, it was spaying yuk all up on the walls!

Anyways, i skirmished for the first time at 15 *me thinks* so about 14 year I guess?
It's about that...

[The Reptile House]

Started when I was 34. Been doing it for 5 years.

[bigtent]

Started @ 42, Still am 42 for a few weeks. I will have a year under my belt
in April, still loving every minute.

Probably having a mid life crisis.. :D .

Spent far to much money, but at least the wife still thinks the guns are
only £50ish.....

I was 18 I think, around a wee bit over 10 years ago.

Back when my guts, knees and eyes all worked a lot better :/

We still talking airsoft here AP? :P

Umm, guess I must have been about 14-15 when i first went to a site, at the old Matrix grounds if anyone remembers them? so about 6 years now.

[TheSlee]

Started skirmishing in 2007 when I was 15. Been going strong ever since :D

[Everett]

10 years ago. I'd say I wish that I knew then what I know now, but I don't know much now :D

[Bodgeups]

Started at the ripe old age of 19, nearly four years ago.

And for the first time since I started playing, my bank balance is now back in the black!!

[Smoke]

Started at about 24. Moved from CO2 pistols to airsoft after reading an article in GunMart, and discovering that I could shoot people rather than paper targets :P

Been about 7 years or so... I may even finish a loadout one of these days. :lol:

Fortunately my current squeeze has been well and truely bitten by the skirmishing bug (yes she is a chick :P). So I can actually show her kit, rather than hide it :).
