New guy in Gresham, OR

[xCASPERx]

My name is Ross I live in Gresham and I'm looking to get into airsoft. I've found tac ops but I'm still looking for other places or groups in the area. If I find something I like that works with my schedule I will start playing for sure. Until then I'll be reading up on gear.

Welcome! Find your way to an outdoor game when you get a chance, it's a completely different experience.

Looks like I'm going to my first ever airsoft event at tac ops this wednesday. Assuming I enjoy it I will probably go once a week while I figure out how to put together a full loadout for events.

Indoor and outdoor are very VERY different.

Indoor you will find lots of people who just want to run around and do magazine dumps at anything that moves.

Outdoor you get some of that, but you get more of the tactics, and flanking. Overwhelming fire is not so much a factor. One good person can take out a whole squad, or secure a whole village (it's fun when you are that one person... ).

Now, indoor is awesome when it's scenario play like the BSP Challenge or CQC1-7, but those events have come and gone, and there are none even close to being on the horizon right now...

I've been watching a lot of airsoft videos to get the feel of it, specifically I've mostly been watching desert fox on youtube. Outdoor is certainely the way to go it seems, but in the intrest of saving money it's probably a good idea for me start at tac ops as a way for me to jump in to it for little cost. As I make contacts and figure what events I can go to and how to gear up for them I will definately be looking into it.
