Average age of our members.

I turned 60 yesterday and have been shooting airguns since I was kid. Hunting squirrels, rabbits, and pheasants in those days. We had a small cherry orchard growing up and I shot 1,000s of starlings and grackles back then. Those guns are nothing compared to what we have today!

Oh, the avatar. That pic is 10 years old. For my 50th I took 7 weeks off work and solo sailed around Florida and the keys. I let my hair grow out and came back weighing 10lbs lighter than when I graduated high school!


 
35. Been shooting and hunting my whole life. Always had a Crosman pump-up in my hands from ages 8-15 or so. Model 760, I think. But it's long gone since my c**t sister smashed the barrel down on the driveway when we were in a fight as teenagers. Man, I miss that gun. Started using springers for pest control in my late 20's, and just recently got into PCPs thanks to a lot of help from member BigTinBoat who I know through a different local hunting forum and who also recommend this forum to me.
 
To be honest, I'll bet most of our members are a touch older. It's a hobby that requires time and MONEY! Most younger types probably lack time and money to get into this. Let's just say I'm approaching retirement and would like to speed that up. I hope I'm wrong and we have lots and lots of younger types, 20's and 30's, but I suspect it's 40's plus.

Regardless, thanks all for the support!
