“This page contains scans from my large collection of paintball magazines….”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
IF you guys really want to know where airsoft came from, its hidden in the pages captured here on this very old and musty electronic-magazine pile at OLD PAINTBALL MAGAZINES. The same growing pains, the same “Arms Races”, the camo Gucci scene, the growth of sites, stores and the industry. The story of AIRSOFT is the story of PAINTBALL, and that’s why a site like this is very, very important to watch, scroll and learn from….”Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it….” Ask TIM “No Airsoft for Old Men” Ellwood. He was there…. Silly-Ballerz!

SHOT Show 2016 -Range Day and the start of Airsoft IN the USA
Thumpy Covey's insight:
SHOT Show 2016 gets underway today in Vegas….actually out in the desert at Industry Day at the Range just east of the city, where airsoft/real-steel’s own MUEL will be a range safety officer! Huge back-pat for that one! Thumpy is NOT in Vegas this year, however…we will be pushing out all the headlines and coverage from the airsoft and gun media you guys love, plus taking y’all down memory lane for some huge moments from the SHOT Shows ‘past. And, there’s no better place to start than pretty much at the beginning of Airsoft at SHOT with our own buddy Tim “No Airsoft for Old Men” Ellwood’s story from his blog…way WAY back in 1987, Mr. Peabody!:

"If you have stopped by the blog No Airsoft for Old Men, you might have thought I had shuffled of the mortal coil (died) or had given up on airsoft. Nothing can be further from the truth, I am still breathing and drinking and ready for another SHOT show. Stop by Booth 20458 FoxFury Lighting ( my day job) and say hi. I will also be with X Caliber Tactical two weeks later at the Safari Club International show in Las Vegas with a airsoft shooting range set. Check my twitter feed at swtim255 for pics and updates..."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Yup'ers buckaroos, do the 'cypherin' with us...when we interviewed Tim Ellwood in 2011(VIDEO HERE)....he said he's been at SHOT Show as an exhibitor since 1986...that's SHOT #29 this year for one of the best guys to know on the Floor, at home in North Carolina...or anywhere! A history lesson in boots...and the heart of why all of us in the good old USA are playing Airsoft today....Good Luck Buddy....rope some hombres, ogle the Gilley's girls, and don't forget to ride off into those amazing Vegas sunsets with your winning's in the saddle bags!
