I was that way too when i first started paintball.Loooooong time ago im a old school paintballer been out of it for about 5 years i guess but air soft has cougt my eye again.Maybe we could drum up somekind of promo some where show off our guns get some free burned dvds out of some ops that would be something cheap to do.Any thing to show them whats out there and what its about.Maybe introduce them in with some starter kits.I can get the cheapos wholesale for like 10 bucks a piece or so...gun glasses batteries charger..you know the cheapos.
Maybe gotsome of those and hand them out for free to select people...
Just any thing...I might let them touch my gun..
But its a thought and i think a good idea.If everyone could come together on it and work out some really good ideas....its up to you guys
