Ex-military guy wanting to get into airsoft. I have watched some pretty cool videos on Youtube with regard to milsim and other cool roleplaying events. Looks like a lot of fun, a way to stay fit, and a way to use skills acquired in my military service.

If anyone is in the Vancouver, WA area and has insight into local milsim groups or just local places to get some rounds in, I would appreciate the help!

Greetings.
There's different groups around ranging from skirmishing in Paintball parks to "speed soft" in arenas to more MilSim stuff.
MilSim West puts on a decent event in the Northwest once or twice a year, check them out.

Thanks Variable! I have seen some videos on speed soft, running blindly through open areas slinging thousands of rounds is definitely not my style. More of a tactical, team, mission oriented guy.

Milsim West events look awesome! I feel like I will need to get some smaller events under my belt before jumping on one of those though. Glad to know they do throw events out here, all the events currently on their site are not northwest.

I have seen posts and a event for this weekend with regard to skirmishes, from the sounds of it these are kind like random pickup games that are hosted by landowners, is that correct?

I still have a few pieces of kit I am waiting on in the mail. Magazines, face shield, etc. Also need to go zero my M4 and pistol. Looking to try and hit up the AA Op event on the 25th.
