New to PNW, still a newbie

[sparrow]

Hey there,

About a year ago I got my first taste of Milsim and have slowly been trying to get more involved with it since. Now I'm finally weening myself off of being the dead weight and borrowing my buddies gear. Unfortunately I'm going to have to find a new group in the area.

I'm in the process of making my way from Minnesota to Portland for work. Thankfully my new job will not only put me in the middle of some amazing scenery, but it seems to me like there's a bustling airsoft scene that can kick my a$$ seven ways to Sunday. Hell, I may be able to even upgrade half of the stuff I've already bought eventually.

Mainly was writing to say "hello" and identify myself as a new face that will be lurking around. Feel free to ask any questions or point me in the right direction before I dig it out from some of the boards.

Cheers!

Thanks bud!

I'd also like to add: If anyone in the area would be willing to take me under their wing and show me the ropes of some local games this summer, that'd be really awesome. Otherwise I'll just be poaching some of the game listings on the board.

Summer Slaughter in July is a blast, and it's geared towards all levels of players. Swap meet, team booths, vendors with tons of items for sale, raffles,day games, night game, free camping, and a Bon fire.
Riddicks game on Memorial weekend should also be good times.
The Swamp game this weekend should be a blast. And the Silverton skirms are usually free( or minimal charge), and lots of fun. R&R puts on games usually at least once a month, are reasonably priced, and have nice amenities.
There's lots of opportunity to get some quality trigger time around here.
Welcome to the community, hope to see you out there.

Sounds like the place to be. Hopefully I can put my kit to the test by then, too.
