I got into Nerfing in Fall 2008, during my freshman year of college. Nerf blasters were an upgrade you could earn in my floor's Assassins game, and the need to shoot farther and more accurately for any distinct advantage led me to Nerfhaven. One upgraded Longshot, and I was hooked.
Now, I spend much of my free time modding and traveling to wars around the Midwest area and Ontario. The gas is a bit much these days, but the experience is totally worth it!
