ages?

[bluestarlizzard]

holophile's thread got me thinking. i wanted to see an age demographic here on THR, just to get an idea of the age groups on here. my theroy is that its a wide range with the smaller numbers being in the higher age ranges (more because gun owners in those ranges may be less familiar with computers and thus not on a website then not owning guns) and at the lower end (b/t 15-20).
i understand that a similar poll may have been done in the past, but i figure that with new memberships and because everyone gets older, the numbers will have changed.
i think this is important, especially to anti's who may be looking in, to see that gun ownership and intrest ranges in all directions, including age.

mods, if you feel this is inappropriate, feel free to shut it down. i was just curious.....

You need to put it in as a poll guestion for easier tracking.

And yes, this has been not too long ago.

 

[bluestarlizzard]

sorry, linda, it takes a minute for the poll to come up.

 

[Linda]

I see that!

I jumped the GUN!

I think one of these was just done recently. Plus, for this one, we need it to be a "poll" thread.

I would guess that your theory is backwards. I believe the majority of members here are 35+.



Edit: dang, three posts at the same time.

bender, i said the lower numbers (i.e. the less likley to be on) would be the yonger and the eldest. therefore it would correlate with your theroy...

can't see any poll but i'm 53 yrs old.......... some days i feel like 73.... some days 23!!

The last thread had a messed-up poll, missing some age groups entirely and edited after people had chosen responses. I'm all for a new one.

'Specially since I'm still in the twenty-something group for one more year.

I turn 29 next week.

 

[bluestarlizzard]

there really is a poll up. i can see it.....

 

[Bazooka Joe71]

Well, the one that was done 2 1/2 months ago shows that 50-60 is the most common age range.

 

[tasco 74]

ok now i see it! voted........

 

[Constantine-p89]

[politicalgeek]

22 here. I have been shooting for a good part of that. Took a short break, and now I am back and enjoying the hobby.

About to celebrate the third anniversary of my 28th birthday.

 

[CountGlockula]

I just voted. 33 years old RULES!!!

 

[JesseL]

Less than 6 months left of being a 20-something

 

[SaMx]

are there a lot more younger people or are the older people not voting?


anyway, I'm 19, going to be 20 in not too long. That feels weird.

 

[bluestarlizzard]

i think the 40/50 somethings just arn't voting. either that or THR has had a mass influx of 20 somethings.

 

[romma]

43 and immature as ever!

 

[JohnBT]

"are there a lot more younger people or are the older people not voting?"

It's nap time.

57

 

[SuperNaut]

I see that I need to put 42 of you on Ignore.


















Joking, joking, settle down...

 

[bluestarlizzard]

supernaut, thats why i didn't make it one of those polls that everyone can see who voting.



*giggle*
