I thought it might be interesting to find out the ages groups we have on the boards. I am posting this in the African section because it generally receives the greatest readership.<BR>Thanks,<BR>Frankunder 2021 to 3030 to 4545 and upOver 70

Interesting idea.

Who is BSing who - Rusty, Ray, Harry, Retreever, PATURKYHTR, and many other haven't voted and the rest of you old farts vote.

All the old guys are still taking their Daily naps.

Yea!

results suprised me slightly I am 29 I thought more younger people would be on here

I was 33 when I first signed on to Accurate Reloading. Now I'm 37. Where in the hell did the time go?

I've been on two safaris since the beginning and now I'm planning my 3rd for next July.

Hell, Shumba, I've got a dozen rifles that I bought new, that are older than that!



There should have been a catagory that was OVER 60 ! I think you'd find it full quickly!

45 to 70 is an very wide spread!

I'm a young'in at only 24, but I have really enjoyed these boards, and hopefully that will continue.

Just as I suspected: At 52 I'm still middle-aged. Gary T.

At 47 it's the first time I've been classified with 70 yr olds.

Hey, Frank, what's 20 year old supposed to do?

Not that I have that problem.

Get used to it!

I guess Ray ain't been on this thread yet.

No one voted for older than a Baobab...

Having just turned 30 I can't figure out what's worse...being classified with the 21 year olds or the 45 year olds.

I also was surprised how many members younger than me are here.

With 38 I feel a little "old" compared with them, I used to imagine AR members as a bunch of white haired gringos

It's a pity to see how "we are not the same" that some years ago, when walking for miles was like going from the bedroom to the kitchen

I turned 29 less than a month ago and feel old. Can't imagine how some of you fossills feel.

Damn, and I thought I was the youngest around! Oh well, 25 is young enough anyway...

i managed to squeeze into the 30-45 group but in about two weeks i'll be "promoted" to 45 and over catagory. what's worse...being the oldest in a young group or the youngest of the old farts?

I though i would have been one of the youngest here at 29,good to see we hunters are not a dying breed.

Well, after 158 votes, I am the first under 20.

Let me say that I am 17, and have been cruising this site for about a year now.

I just want to thank Saeed and everyone here who make this website what it is. Ever since reading "Death in Long Grass", I've had the disease and this forum has only added to the allure of Africa. The discussions here add a lot more to my life than much of what is said amongst my teenage peers. Hunting is something I care very much about, and I plan on visiting Africa a few times over the course of my life.

Also, this is my first post, as I felt that I never really had anything significant to say, but now I have a start, and I hope to contribute more to this forum over the years.

Casey.

Welcome to AR Gibson. I am proud to be the first to welcome you. I was just in the process of typing my responses to this poll and wondering why we aren't more actively recruiting more young people. I am glad to see you here. This site will either cure the disease for you or make it WAY more intense.
Frank

Gibson,

Welcome, sometimes being different means being better.

Regards,

Terry

Finally I'm in the majority about something...

I thought I was going to be one of the young ones at 33, guess I was wrong.

I'm 49, I feel 70 some days, but I act 12 most days.

Yeah I kinda missed that. Of course, when I was twenty I was kind of lost in space as well. Didn't want to be an adult but couldn't act like a kid either.
Frank

I wish I could have hunted Africa in my 20's, but like a lot of other people, I was busy buying a house, furniture, cars, and all that other "stuff". African safaris are not cheap, and most working people just don't have the excess funds until later in life.

I'm 22. Gotcha!

Since my recollection of the years from 1977-1989 are a bit skecthy, they don't count.

I've got underwear older than Gibson.

What's terrible is that I just realized that in January, my son will be in the same group I'm in! The 45 to 70 group! Luckily though, he had his family a little later in life. My eight year old granddaughter told her mother that she was going to ask grandpa to take her hunting. Her brother was teasing her that she couldn't go with him and their dad. (Now where did I see that pink-stocked chipmunk .22?)

I feel so....average now that I belong to the 30 to 45 year old group.

Hi Dinos!
21 years old and reporting for duty for at least another 20 yrs on these forums God willing.

I'll see 60 in a couple of months. Looks like Ray ain't even gonna answer.

So, some AR members were born around the time when Jesus wore shorts....

Yeah, I know age is just a number. My Id card says 31

Cheers

Take someone shooting, get them out there, every person you introduce to our fabulous sport will keep us hunting!
