Airsoft
I got up early on Saturday and went to Fort Ord (near Monterey) for an airsoft event put on by Roundhouse Productions. Devin let me borrow some gear so that I could take part in the three games. There were somewhere between 200 and 300 people taking part and we were put on teams based on the type of camo we were wearing. This being my first time at airsoft I didn't expect much from myself. But I did improve as the games went on. I started out getting shot more than I shot other people but by the third game I shot more people than had shot me. My overall impressions of airsoft are that it is a lot of fun, good exercise, not a poor man's sport, and kind of like summer camp in that you show up not knowing many people but you have fun and make friends along the way. I can see how people get really into it. Thanks to Devin for letting me borrow his gear and taking this picture.
