Age:
28
Experience:
Been shooting since I was 6 or so. I started hunting with my single shot 20 ga. when I was 8 or 10... the memory is getting fuzzy in my old age
Have been trained by the US Govt and the Colorado State Patrol in the use of firearms in many different situations. But at the end of the day I just love to punch holes in paper... or an old tv or whatever is sitting at the end of the range.

25.
Started ~7, on and off. Mostly off until recently.
BBs, pellets, .9mm, .45, .357/.38, .22, buckshot, .223. Handguns, revolvers, rifles, shotgun, and a bow & arrow or two.
Willing to expand experience, wanting to try paintball (bruises and welts be damned) and looking forward getting my CCW.

I am 22 and have been shooting since training wheels. I started on a BB rifle and pistol and probably around 8-9 began using my dad's .22, .410, and .38 revolver. I made a mistake ONCE of shooting his .12 ga with about an inch of space between the butt and my shoulder. :banghead: Never Again. I've been huting since I was ten and can do great things with a .410, .20 , or .12 ga. Though my Mossberg 1000 is my right arm. 
We hunt on my uncle's farm in Peoria and afterwards use boxes and boxes of ammo practicing and plinking. Calibers I have shot range as small as .22 short up to .45/70. Shotguns, revolvers, and leverguns are my favorites. BTW I have four sisters and one brother who all had the same experiences. Two sisters dont like shooting at all two are very into it and none of the girls hunt. My brother is right there with me and has almost surpassed me with rifles using iron sights. (To be fair he has 20/20 vision and I'm -5/-5.25) No expert but I know enough to get the job done.

I'm 37 and been shooting since I was about 6-7 years old. started off with BBguns and soda cans lined up in the back yard to many a different make, model and nationality of firearms thanks to a family member that collected a variety fo things and my years in the service that required me to train with what other people used. I'm no expert and handled enough that it all pretty much jumbles together from time to time except for the ones I truly own myself and shoot regularly.

58/50 more or less. Don't remember exactly the first time I went shooting/hunting but 50 years will about do it. My God, I am getting old.
