What Age Group Do You Fit in?

[Billm]

Holy moly I'm on the young side. 44 tomorrow. I'm a plumber I appreciate high pressure, regulators, valves, o rings from work so why not find a hobby with that stuff that's 1000% more fun.

Happy birthday

After thoroughly pondering the question, I've come to the conclusion that I should be in the 0-18 group. I guess I'm just a kid at heart.

Ok, 9 it is. I had the coolest BB guns when I was 9.

Guess I'm in the oldster's category at 76.....doesn't seem possible I got this old so quickly!!

Considering my love for bicycles and bb guns, I probably "fit in" with the 10-12YO. But Chronologically I'm old enough my hair has turned...loose....

82 next month and enjoying it.

 

[BanjomanMI76]

I should’ve split it at 60-70 lol

I think you should break it down in a new survey... as mentioned in another post, 5 year increments from 50-70. The Ol' Codger's Survey

 

[Hoppalong Doc]

Old enough to know better, but young evough to do it at 78. Whoopee!

 

[Hoppalong Doc]

Just turned 78 last month. Now what were we talking about?

 

[Chief55]

WHAT, I actually fit in a group. You're kidding. I will be 71 next week.

I'm not surprised a bit that guys in their 70s and 80s are enjoying airguns. But I do find it interesting that you are in any way interested in online forums, or the related computer thingies.

Well im a single old fart that when computers were young saw the need to help my daughter learn about them so i had to learn a bit because i saw my daughters need to learn as it was coming. Now is nice to have others to chat with about the things im doing. But i really dislike all this tech stuff

We actually started out with the first computers. Apple II clones, amber screens, dos operating system, 8-inch floppy drives. I had one computer that used cassette tapes for storage. We were using the first Macs when I was an instructor teaching aircraft mechs. That is actually one of the cool things about getting old. Seeing all the changes in technology. Like the first color TV and transistor radio that isn't as big as a toaster.

That was the Colorado Tape Back up... Yep I had one. Plus 8 inch, 5 inch 3.5 inch diskettes. DS/DD.
My first color monitor was an actual Japanese TV that had a converter. Remember BBSs before Dial up Internet?
1200 baud modems. MS-DOS.
Yeah, Us ol' farts were in the vanguard.

I remember when my Apple IIe was nearly $2000 back when they first came out. And who remembers pin feed dot matrix?

I'm just glad there's a lot of old timers like me here

 

[pan60]

honestly I am am somewhat suppressed at the lack of younger participation in the sport.
Ihave always credited it to a more robust disposable income for the more older folks with-in the hobby but truth be known most of us have to budget and to get what we want, nothing a younger individual wouldn't be able to manage I would think?

so were are the younger folks what are they doing?

is it that they have gown up so distant to guns and hunting that they are lost to us? or are they just occupied with other electronic devices?
LOL

From my experience with my grandsons they would rather shoot it out with someone on tv than shoot in real life. 1 out of the 3 has much of any interest
