Age of people on THR

Sorry if this has been done before... I tried searching and couldn't come up with anything. I was reading the other thread currently going "15 and a traditionalist" and was surprised that a lot of the people on this forum are in their early 20s or late teens. In my experience "gun guys" have usually been older, the majority in the 40-60 range, and I always thought of that as a sad thing. Someone's gotta carry on the torch!

Either way, I'd like to see the results of this poll. Mods, let me know if this is not OK.

22 years old. I love everything from RG revolvers and other Saturday Night Specials up to Glocks and Springfield XDM pistols.

LJ-MosinFreak-Buck · Sep 20, 2011

22 in October, 5 rifles, a shotgun, and a pistol.

jleyring · Sep 20, 2011

Just turned 23 last week and i have 8 guns and counting.

Skribs · Sep 20, 2011

23, currently have 3 guns. Hoping to get a new job so my collection can skyrocket.

zdc1775 · Sep 20, 2011

23 on sunday and been shooting (real guns) and hunting since I was 5. Some of us start young.

garymc · Sep 20, 2011

60, which puts me in either the 50-60 group or the 60-70 group. Next time, give some thought to the ranges. I don't know how many guns I have.

Inebriated · Sep 20, 2011

Turned 20 in June... 4 to my name. Plenty of others at my disposal.

Leinahtan · Sep 20, 2011

22. Just got a Walther G22 a couple weeks ago and now looking at a Beretta 21A .22LR.

Only other person I know that owns guns is my boss, and he's 29.

AK_Maine_iac · Sep 20, 2011

60 years 1 month and 12 days so i guess it would put me in the 60 - 70 group

RevDerb · Sep 20, 2011

66 next BD. :neener:

N003k · Sep 20, 2011

21, and have a collection of about 30 at this point, give or take 2...I really need to sit down and go through them all.

HoosierShooter · Sep 20, 2011

35 and wanting more guns

Canuc Shooter · Sep 20, 2011

67 and still shooting handguns 3 times a week.

sansone · Sep 20, 2011

56 and suddenly putting scopes on all my rifles, gosh I hated glass on guns when I could see

W.E.G. · Sep 20, 2011

Old enough to teach you a lesson, now...

smalls · Sep 20, 2011

21 with 2 guns (not NEARLY enough).

cambeul41 · Sep 20, 2011

Seventy last month according to the calendar -- but I am having a hard time believing it.

jimmyraythomason · Sep 20, 2011

I'm betting that W.E.G.'s accelerator pedal behind the 8 track has toes on it! I turned 58 last April.

HarleyFixer · Sep 20, 2011

58 here with more guns than I can count and needing MORE. PS my first 4Track tape was Aretha.

ATBackPackin · Sep 20, 2011

Holy crap, I was literally at a flea market this past weekend when I saw someone selling eight track tapes and I thought to myself who in the world still uses those. Now I know.

Oh yeah I am 37.

why is that sad?

49 and the safe is full, I say I'm not a rifle guy so why do I have 5??

Tinpig · Sep 20, 2011

67-
And most of my guns are even older.
It's great to see how many young (20s) guys there are here.

58 here, first 8 track tape was Beach Boys in Concert.

Very revealing thread. It flys in the face of a conversation I overheard at my LGS, where the speaker referred to The High Road as a "bunch of cranky old men." :what:

(His words/opinion, not mine) That'll teach 'em!

Or, it simply reveals the age of those who participated in your survey.

CraigC · Sep 20, 2011

37 but yes, I have listened to 8-track tapes and vinyl in my lifetime. Unlike old guns and old cars, I am glad to see them become a relic of the past.
