Old farts club?

[gambo47]

Now I'm an old fart! (46) my Brother; also newly into the sport is 51
My question is; how old is the oldest regular player?
I read a thread by someone the other day who was retiring at 30 because he was "too old for the sport" Well what hope does that leave me?
I want to know if I am going to get some mileage out of my kit? Am I going to get the p*ss ripped when I attend my first walkon at "The Bunker game" in Sept or am I just a young whipersnapper in comparison?

So c'mon oldies, post up. Lets see who's the oldest!

In that case I am still a youngster at 48 and I am on the supair field with players that are 14yrs upwards. I am the oldest playing in the SPPS though. So long as my legs, back and cash holds out I hope to play paintball!!

I think almost all of the guys in my old team are 40+ now

We're getting to that

"Hmmm - can I make that next bunker?"... "Nah - can't be arsed" Phase

Last time on field I ran at the break from back centre to snake and shot three players out when I got there! It took ten minutes for me to get my breath back so maybe I'll stick to back centre!

it depends on the type of balling you want to do and how fit you are. most walkons are made up of the more mature paintballer. and the torni seen is mainly younger players that said MOOB came first and Third in sundays southen masters and the average age on thoes teams are 33 including 2 under 22 so your age makes not differance.

I'm still no good at this ****** game

Give my regards to Les from Spank and wish him a speedy recovery, its nice to see a fellow GoG (grumpy old git) amonst all the kids at tournies.
