Hello all,
I figured I would type up a quick introduction as a first post before I go pillaging the information on this board. My name is Travis Mihm. I'm 17 (in high school with no job. Bummer.), and live in the southwestern portion of Michigan. I found this sight through the Michigan Airsoft Forum, and see that it's a place that fits my style like a glove. I have had over a year's worth of "experience" in airsoft, that's about where I'll put it. We had 3 little spring MP5s back in the day, and up until this fall, I never thought about airsoft much, just played every once in a while. I'm still technically a newb, and have yet to play in a large, non-backyard game. I host my own back yard games, well, back woods and fields, on our 40-acre property with a few buddies of mine. A sin I know, I guess it's supposed to show I'm not serious in the sport? Truth is, I am more or less using it as a training grounds for my friends and myself before I hit a real field. I work on a shoestring budget. And I mean that in the most literal sense known to man. I have a TSD VSR-clone. It's technically stock for now, but where I come from, we pride ourselves on ingenuity, and I've done a fair amount of tinkering with this thing. Links to my thread at the Michigan Airsoft Forum will be available if requested. My sidearm is a TSD/Bell M9 GBB. It gets the job done if the mags are warm, but I haven't had the chance to carry it because of the low temperatures. I own some very old camo. Not a gear guru by any means, so I don't know what you call it. It's just blobs of green, brown, and black. I will be making a ghillie soon as the snow clears out, but for now I have made a hood, face cover, overcoat, and pants out of white cloth, and cover my gun with the same material. I am proud to say that in all my newb glory, I have taken out someone facing me from 50 or 60 feet away, and not be seen (even though they looked around for me before they called their hit, which didn't make me happy at all). That's about it for now. I'll be impressed if you've read up until now anyway, what I just wrote is pretty much a newb book. Hope to hear from you all soon!
