Fill out your location so we can help you more.

I started coming to AP games when i was 13.

I just came out, respected everyone. and acted very mature.

Nobody had a problem with me, i was also honorable and called my hits.

If it's an AP game, you don't need an 18 year old brother. just a signed waiver. (as long as you're over the age limit the host sets)

If at a larger game/op either show up equiped or have arranged BEFORE HAND to borrow some gear (to see if the sport really is for them, this is much better is just attending small skirmishes). And equiped does not mean BDUs, paint ball mask and the Tomb Raider spring pistol. Equipped is a skirmishable weapon, supporting kit (LBE, mags, water), BDUs, and boots. Boots with ankle support are a must. For saftey.

Be ready to work as a team. Not just wanting to charge off lone wolf and try to pwnx0r every one.

Good sportsmanship is always a plus. (IE, take your hits, don't call other peoples hits, don't gloat if you do good, or get pissy if you do poorly)

Understand that this game usually isn't solid trigger time. It's a lot of manuvering, finding the enemy, THEN the firefight.

Understand the importance of being a rifleman. You are not a 1337 snipx0r, and you won't be for a very long time, if ever.

And mostly, don't be an asshat.

It really is best to show for some skirmishes with people who are accepting of younger players first. (like Hotcurry, he is an awsome guy), and use your time there to decide if milsim airsofting really is for you, or if speed balling is more what you're looking for. I personally suggest this before you make your buy in, if you can have someone who let you use a kit at a skirmish.

I'm 13 and I play locally at the fields of SC Village on every airsoft day. Unless this is for AP games. =p

Man havnt yet goen to an official palce yet, i plan on heading to SC village on the first sunday, but Me'h, its like a hour drive.

But funny down my street theres this random forest, where many of my neiughbors chill down there for biking, and the occasional airsoft/paintball players that head down there for a game...

Sux, since most of the people, are quite immature when it comes to calling their hits, I mean, really... U need to shoot there faces so they moan... And they know u know they got a hit =.=;;;
