new players watching?

[neverseemecoming]

hi all.

ive got a few friends who are quite interested in finding out what airsoft is all about but dont want to play necisarily on the first visit. just want to walk around the site and watch the action unfold.

is it possible to have one or two people at the site maybe in flouresant jackets just watching? and would they be charged the site fee to do so?

Can't see an issue with it, contact your local site.
I've had a mate come to a few do's with his camera, has no interest in airsoft, just loves taking pictures.

Tell them to "man up" and get stuck in I say :D

Besides, in a jacket people will think they are a marshall, without they'll get shot anyway.

If you play at GZW, have a word with H. I'm sure they wouldn't be charged as they're not playing, and they'd be issued orange Hi-Vis jackets instead of the marshals yellow.

Ooo I couldn't watch people playing airsoft and not playing it would do my nut in.

Re: new players watching?

cheers for the replies guys. ive been trying to persuade them to play but they say they are a bit of a woos and want to see what its all about before they think about getting stuck in. ill see what they say about it anyways.

thanks again all

i had a mate show up to a cqb game here in hk. he wanted to play, but thought about just watching first. then he saw that there were a few girls playing, so he had to really.

make sure there's a few ladies present, and your mates might suddenly decide they're brave enough.

Re: new players watching?

my first time at electrowerkz,i was just observing,and i had a yellow high vis vest on
it was really good,got to check out the place without any stresses....got asked so many times to call hits though,it gave me a perverse sense on power

Re: new players watching?

To be fair, it's not dogging. all of the enjoyment is in the playing. as Jag said, tell em to man up a little.

Re: new players watching?

well for me i already had my primary and sidearm,and some gear,coz i was having battles with my nephew in the garden,i just wanted to see if cqb was something that would interest me without having to pay £20 to find out, i hadnt heard of zeroin back then,and i didnt know anything about the sport

Re: new players watching?

max just tell them to man up and borow some of our gear, its only 25 quid for a full day, and im pretty sure that they will like it, although u could give them all video cameras and get some decent footage for the day :D

Re: new players watching?

best way to see what its really like would be to get stuck in with a game.

Re: new players watching?

if they want to watch - fine. but someone will get the urge to shoot them and pretend it was an accident. and if they don't - you need to.
you go to a wargame, and you need to get shot.

Re: new players watching?

I'm sure if you contact your site owner/organiser then they will let you have a good watch of a couple of games.

We encourage people to come have a look, and if there is some spare gear then they are allways welcome to jump in!

Re: new players watching?

they are girls so i dont think seeing other girls play would help. but im persuading them slowly, dont think they wanna splash out on rentals though so i doubt theyll play on the first visit
