Hello Everyone!

If any of you know my team leader Felix has succesfully created an airsoft team for Lexington High School! which is great news for all of us.
Since im the only one on the team with any real knowledge of this i put together our website.

I would just like to ask you go and look at the main page.

Id like to make sure the coding is stable for everyones browser.
please be aware only one Navigation button works because i havent had time to finish the other pages for the site. 2 other links also work.

If you encounter any problems, please state what browser you are using, version, and what exactly was wrong. THANKS!

Well, ah, it's huge. And won't fit on most screens because it is so wide. It looks to be maybe 1600-1800px wide. Try making it so that it adjusts to the screen width or make it the default 800-1000px wide, as that will fit on most people's screens.

Other than that, it looks good.

Thanks! My screen size 1920*1080
So I probably made it a little too big

The statements regarding orange tips are false.

The widest a site should ever be is 1024, assuming you haven't incorporated scaling. The overwhelming majority of people run 1024x768.

Thanks!  That would most likely explain it. I made it to fit my screen. But that's why I checked with you guys!
I scaled it down a bit though. Ill keep trying.

Kyle is right, orange tips are exclusively required under federal interstate commerce regulation, and thus orange tips are only ever required if and during shipping an airsoft gun across state lines. Owners of airsoft guns absolutely can remove orange tips.

Also, you should fix the aspect ratio of the top left pic of the Masada, it is very skewed.

Otherwise nice job, lots of good info.

It is a very common misconception, and I have seen many actual airsoft retail web sites that state it incorrectly as well.

I would also check with your faculty sponsor though, as the school may wish that you keep the orange tips on your guns as well.

That's not what I mean. Since you will be representing the school away from campus, should anything happen with police officials, the school may wish to press stricter guidelines about discipline and "strength of liability".

Just something to check, but the site looks great!  ;D
