Who's Been Skirmishing the Longest?

estfront

I the spirit of "who's the Daddy" It would be interesting to see who has been skirmishing the longest.

KonFusion

Sgt.pepper

There's a fair few posters on here who have been skirmishing in UK/NI for years before airsoft in Ireland was even legal. But for actual (and legal) skirmishes in Ireland, it'd be anyone who was at the first ever skirmish at HRTA in Jan '07

I missed the first one myself, but was at HRTA the following week.

So I dunno ... add your name to the list if you were there. I'm going to see if I can find the group photo.
