I'll be 70 in February. The 2 passions in my life (aside from my wife) are music (been playing professionally since I was 12) and shooting. I seem to still feel like a youngster when I'm doing either one of those things. Being a drummer has kept me more physically fit than I ever realized it would & I still have the ability to be out in the "wild" & cover the ground needed to find prey while carrying my equipment. I know quite a few guys my age who just can't do it anymore. In my head I'm still a youngster!

Been shooting since I was 4 with a daisy. I've got 5 dirt/dual sport bikes but trying to down size to just 1.

I'm 2 months shy of my 70th. Been shooting airguns since about 10 years old. If you were to ask that kid what the 3 greatest inventions were he would have said Lionel Trains, firecrackers and bb guns... in that order

Now, there is a profound truth — that I have believed since my tiny hand could hold a toy gun (though at the time I didn't know about BB guns — they were all just "guns" to my feeble mind).
It all started when I lit my first match. And then my first candle. And then there was no stopping....
➔ 
With guns... — well, after childhood they took a hiatus — only to brake back into my life with such force that only boys can understand (and the men that still have that boy living inside of them [so, yeah, that's most of us here at AGN, I know]).
What a trip!! Just awesome! I'm so thankful that I get to live in a country where both of these are accessible without the govmnt. meddling too much with it.

Wow ! There's people here that voted for George Washington or perhaps shook the hand of John Hancock. Lol
I'm 60 and loving life, been married 35 years and been shooting guns since childhood.
BUT have not shot a center fire since indulging into PCP......them things are the cats meow.
Take care of yourselves and enjoy life.

Will celebrate the 44th anniversary of my 21st birthday on 12-3.
My first two shotguns are part of my e-mail addy.
Don't remember not shooting something -

I'm just 68, still got milk behind my ears. Fast living and construction have taken a toll on my body. When I sit down with my rifle I forget the aches and pains. When I get a new rifle I feel like the 5 year old waiting for Santa to show up. As long as I can keep a little child in me I'm alright.

Vettnut..for sure you win HANDS DOWN!
Unless I missed someone older than you.
And for the youngest member, I think it was a 19 year old. Both of you need special recognition here.

Hey whippersnapper, I’m 81. Shooting in a 100 yd BR match this weekend at Trenier Outdoors. I’ll quit shooting when the Lord calls me home.

In 2017 I left the only job I ever had after 43 1/2 years. At 66 I had no idea pestering my prettier half, working in the woodshop and shooting the Impact almost every day would be so much fun. Oh and, Tuesdays are clays day at the range and Wednesdays are fishin day if the weather and tides are right and....
Retirement is kinda like being 15 again with no school. Here's praying that all of you that are not there get there!
