    Hi all, we are starting a girls only night on Mondays. If you would be interested (or know someone that may be interested) just mail: girls(at)airsoftreloaded.ie or call: (085) 7555912.

    Lads if your sick of your better half moaning at you for "wasting money" on "That stupid game" then why not get them into this great sport of ours?

    Girls are you sick of your fella saying oh I'm the best at airsoft? Sure why not get involved and in a week or two go out to a skirmish and kick his ass!

    The point of this is to get more girls into airsoft.

    A soft way into a hard game!

    Twas funny alright.

    To keep this on topic lads I just want to remind you that if you know anyone interested in this idea please email: girls(at)airsoftreloaded.ie or call: (085) 7555912.

    We already have around 15 ladies into it so you won't be alone!

    :) Bring One Get One Free (game). To encourage more girls to turn up, how about offering a free game to any established player who brings a new player along for their first game?

    It seems to work for the supermarkets. One per customer, while stocks last. Just an idea...

    PM inbound.

    Done.

    If your a girl and want to pop up you can bring a freind for half the price (the price will already be slightly lowered)!

    My female companion is hinting more and more she wants to give this " shooting lark" a try :)

    And got help you, cause I can just tell she would be much better then me. She is starting to annoy me and how fast she is reloading m4 mags, I'm not impressed :)

    I'll try get her down for a looksy and see if it gets her interested at all.

    Thanks Evelyn, we are hoping to start within two weeks. It will just be a crash course in the basics though. We have had a lot of the ladies in and most (not all) of them feel a bit awkward about skirmishing when there are loads of blokes around. The plan is to get them into it and them send them to join whatever team or form a team but we aren't really supportive of an all girl team, this would lead to an all girl league which is exactly what we don't want!

    Hence the idea.

    Girls night? curious idea....

    why practice against ourselves? not the sworn enemy? they make much more enticing targets.

    Cudos for putting this on, but i think ill have to skip. Been playing too long to need a beginers night XD


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Gizmodeon


    I kind of enjoy shooting the boys, but I might give this a shot too :)
    but if I hear someone complain about breaking a nail, I can't help my instinctive actions...
    :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,205 ✭✭✭Firekitten


    Unfortunately I have to admit to doing that atleast once... But they were pretty marpat nails :D They survived a whole weekender only to have one break on taking the mag out at the safezone at the end.

    Dont think we have to be super tomboys to be into airsoft... girly girls can play too... Heck some of us have to manage hecktic social lifes and preening with running around diving in muddy trenches... :D

    I may pop over for this... sounds a blast. Cant help imagining a hen party with firearms being less dangerous.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Gizmodeon


    oh I fully admit to wearing make up on the airsoft field:p
    and wanting an ACU handbag Lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 187 ✭✭mechwarrior


    does face-paint counts as make-up and pouch bag counts for hand-bag ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,763 ✭✭✭Airsoft Reloded


    Hi all,

    Just so you know, the girls night works on bookings only.

    why would a girls team mean a girls league would have to form? Can't a girls team play a mens team? There's no physical side to airsoft that would unlevel the ground.... I cant see why a group of girls couldnt whipe the floor with all these supposedly hard men ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 816 ✭✭✭gungun


    supposedly hard?:P
    I'm gonna have to start wearing a tracksuit to skirmishes:D

    Remember I said this?

    We don't want women and men sperated in this sport (sure we have both women and men in our team as do kosa and the contractors) but we DO want more women in the sport which is why we offer a girls only night to allow those that feel a wee bit awkward playing against men at the start to have an easy way in.
