Hi my name is Grant I am keen to try this out looking forward to have the time and actually be a part of this.
I am keen on the sniper side of things so any info on the the rifles available here would be great. Also where do you guys get your gear/ weapons in particular, as I still have some gear left over from an alter life I lead a few years ago. Sorry if this is a dumb question but what was the fps rule I am getting mixed up with all the figures I'm reading on different websites at the moment.

Hey Grunta,

Welcome aboard!

We've posted our field limits HERE.

I've also changed your membership status to 'probationary' so you will have access to a few more areas here.

We purchase from a number of places, importing gear from places like Hong Kong or the US. We also purchase locally as well. There are a couple of suitable places in New Zealand.

Hi Grant, good to see you on the forum. We have a page with links to several gear sites, and are ALWAYS willing to talk about gear etc. Also have a page with our FPS rules, but as a general rule of thumb anything arund the 350 mark is fine for a first gun.

Hey All,

Thought i'd better get my arse into gear and join a club, I've only recently started airsoft and I can't believe no-ones put me onto it earlier!!! Me and a few mates have the odd backyard skirmish, all VERY unorganised but loads of fun. Live in CHB out in the sticks (read, no cell phone service and no nosy neighbours) with the mrs and an 8 year old who thinks he's a crusty demon.

I was reading about your open day coming up and hoping to get up to play however, the young fella has MX on the last Sat of every month so I'll bloody miss this one.

Do you have regular games?

We generally play every two weeks. so you should find we'll have a game that suits you. Welcome to our forums.

Thanks for the welcome eightball,

I had a nosy through the calendar looking for the next game but it looked quite bare...

I'm pretty keen to get to some games asap.

It looks bare, because I'm a bit slack, and generally post our next games after our last game...

Kia Ora.  My name is Brendon, I am 33 and a teacher living in Havelock.  My brother and I are looking forward to joining you all next weekend on the open day.  It looks likes loads of fun and a great way to spend a few hours.
