Its 20% mid-life crisis, 10% anger management, 50% generation gap filler with my son, 20% exercise, and 100% fun.

I'm a tomboy. Who cares about going to a spa and getting a facial, when I could spend that time running in the woods and shooting people? I wasn't good at sports as a kid. I have found a sport that I truly enjoy. (That, and martial arts.)

I play because I get to shoot fools! My wife calls it anger management.

Okay, a serious answer for you.
The folks that know the guys on our team know that we come from the SCA, or Society for Creative Anachronism. A medieval reenactment society with 40,000 or so members worldwide. We participated in heavy combat, fighting full speed with rattan weapons, in armor. The entire foundation of the fighting was personal honor and chivalry, as no one called your shots but you, and you would not take advantage of an unarmed or otherwise impaired opponet just for the sake of winning. The system works fairly well. THe only reason I am not fighting now is that I am 42, played football for 11 years and fought heavy combat for close to 18. It is not that getting hit started getting to me, just the activity of fighting in armor became too much physically for me, so I had to give it up.
Airsoft requires the same self-disipline. It is a sport where honor is key, and friendly competition is the name of the game. I like to win, but being fair and honest is more important. I like that, and I enjoy that. And I get to shoot people, always a plus. I must say though, that I had just as much fun sitting down to supper, hanging out, and getting to know everyone better.
And I like playing army, have I mentioned that?

I play, because as most of you know I was a Pro paintball player for 2 years and it was no longer fun and the cheating is getting bad, just for the sheer fun of it and the people (well most) are honest. All of you have brought the fun back into shooting fools and for that I say thank you.
