Started blasting old pumpkins in the backyard and the occasional whistle pig that may have wondered into the garden. Hunted deer with it for my first 3 years of deer hunting. Now I have a few guns i shoot every chance i get and some i have just because.

23. Learned to shoot (pellet gun) at 6. Shot my first shotgun (youth 20 guage) at 8-ish, .22 Browning lever gun soon afterwards.

To this day, I still love lever guns. The Browning .22 lever gun is one of the most beautiful works of art I've handled

[Erinyes]

23, and I've only been shooting since I was 18. Always had a bit of an interest in firearms, but my dad wasn't the type to take the kids out do stuff. When I was 18, I was up in my parent's room while they were cleaning the closets out and dad pulled out my granddad's old Enfield and a Marlin .22. I asked him if I could take 'em to a local range, he said sure, the rest is history. BTW, I now own both of those rifles.

Started with paintball guns and pellet rifles/BB guns back when I was probably around 12, got introduced to actual firearms through boy scouts a couple years later, looking to start shooting as a hobby this summer.

 

[Mr White]

I'm 45 now.
Started shooting BB guns and .22s at 12.
Got completely away from guns for a lot of years at about 18.
Got my first handgun at 32, first rifle at 38 and its all been downhill from there.

Started reloading this past winter.

 

[akolleth]

Well I am 33, and I just started 1 1/2 years ago.

Always wanted to, just had VERY anti- parents. After I got married my wife proved a bit reluctant to have firearms in the house, although she is not entirely anti. Finally after some wearing down to her objections on safety in the house with children, I got my first rifle about 1 1/2 years ago.

Since then I have grown that little collection to 6 rifles.

 

[Elza]

I'm 54. Started with BB guns at age 10. Been handloading for 30 years.

Damn bi-focals!!!

 

[cdrt]

I'm 58. Started shooting (hunting) at about 10. Got in to Bullseye while in the Navy (early .70's) and International right after that. Competed at the U.S. Shooting Team tryouts in Phoenix in 1981 and '83 and the Olympic tryouts in L.A. in '84. Got recalled to active duty in '85 which screwed up competitive shooting for a while. 10 points to go for my Distinguished Pistol Medal through the CMP. Still shoot Highpower when I have the time.
