I can’t say I don’t agree with you. I actually started to set it up in 10 year increments, but decided against it.41 to 60 is a broad range..........I'd say try the poll again with more relatable numbers like Youth to 18, 18-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 60+ ......since 60 is a median retirement age , kinda.
I mean I'm 41 and I feel like I'd be in a whole different generation and demographic than someome who's 60.
I am 67 and built my first muzzleloading pistol from a kit in 1976. I have had several muzzleloading firearms over the years but right now I am down to five. These would include two cap and ball revolvers. I have been into motorcycles most of my adult life and it was not uncommon back then to see some of these bikers with long hair and beards at the local black powder gun shop having a new front sight put on their favorite rifle or picking up some needed powder or lead. The same was true at the shooting ranges. It seemed back then, if someone rode a Harly Davidson or a Triumph or BSA they were into muzzleloading. I would enjoy having casual conversations about my two favorite hobbies with fellow muzzleloading enthusiasts.I'm 69 and holding. Got into black powder in 89 and loved it! Only have 4 BP guns but they are my favorite guns to shoot. Lung cancer is slowing me down but still shootin!
Well the poll is closed and the results make it crystal clear, we're aging out and there aren't many coming behind us. The Bell curve is seriously skewed to the geezer side. And most of us geezers have an approaching expiration date.
The thought everybody should carry away from this is we better start working with kids at every opportunity. Get involved somewhere, somehow or get out of the way.
Yes, toot, but at my age GOOD WHISKEY is all that is left.you left out FASTE HORSES- WILD WOMEN & AND GOOD WHISKEY!
