Any young folks around here?

[CaseyPod]

Hey all,

I am 29 and generally not many people in my generation or younger are in to guns. I would love to have a group of people around my age to go shooting with some time.

Most of my college buds are either on the east coast or on ships somewhere around the world. I would like to make a few friends in Vancouver! Maybe start a shooting club in vancouver for the younger set..

Unfortunately, when it comes to the gun community, guys my age seem to be the younger ones...and I am 42. There are alot of younger guys on the Glock forums but they are seldom the type I would want to associate with too much.

I am 20! Although I live in Beaverton, not Vancouver, my husband and I visit there often.
There do seem to be quite a few members on the younger side on NWFA! Most of us aren't too mean.

It seems people either grow up shooting or, like me, start shooting in late teens/twenties. Go to your local range(s) and you'll see plenty of people your age.

For maximum interest in a shooting club, advertise that you buy the first pitcher of beer after each range session.

I'm 20. I grew up hunting alot but just in the last year got into shooting seriously

I know quite a few people in our age range (I'm 33 but have a lot of friends that shoot that are younger) although I am just now getting into it. Strangely enough most of them are from church.

I'm 26 but I prefer shooting/talking with the old guys. Experience and knowledge is priceless!

 

[kentsboots]

I'm 29 also

38, does that make me old?

I feel 28 if that counts

 

[lazyeye]

23... But I feel old.

 

[SgtKashim]

Dude, you guys are old... :F

I turn 21 next month - Feb 15.
So close...

I'm told I'm very mature for my age, though. The receding hairline doesn't help either. How the **** do I have a receding hairline at age 20?!

 

[Doc In UPlace]

From what I can tell the large majority is under 30 here. Or under 20. :huh:

Yeah, I feel old too... work too much, play too little

I have a receding hairline too.. since I was 20. You get used to it- just buzz it off. Shaggy hair with a receding hairline is hard to pull off.

22 here... still very much a kid

Same here. Only, my wife is tired of living with a kid, but at least she is safe.:gun18:

<<----- 31

 

[ZeroRing]

Certainly looks like I am in the "older" group at 42...

Please, if you all could... add your age to the "poll" I've got going here: http://www.northwestfirearms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2990

It'll be interesting to see how many are in each group.

I am 25 and for the most part just got into guns, I bought my first gun a .22 when i was 20(because it was $10 more than a bb gun) and then got my first shotgun when I was 22. Then in 2008 i bought 6 guns and built an AR and went all in by getting my first Class III weapon and a CHL!

 

[browning]

33 here. Have been into guns since I was a little boy, but it was not until a few years ago that I could start to afford them, had to finish college first. Now that I can have them it looks as if I might loose them (damn election)!
