Age of Forum Users

[Keith]

Stumpy, your father was older than my Grandfather.

 

[Stumpkiller]

He was two years older than I am now when I was born, and his grandfather was in the Civil War. We're late shooters, so to speak. :: That, or I come from a long line of milkmen and package couriers.

OK - Methinks this thread has just about run its course.
I will post the final results on a new post marked "Results - Age of Forum Users".
But for those reading here, of 134 users who reported, the average age is 48.4.
We are still guessing about Tipis, since she wants to remain "mysterious". But since she said she'd like to be 39 again, but balked at being called 59, I fugure she's right around what our average is - mid to late 40's (?).
Thanks to all for your participation.

IM jaybe :thumbsup:

Well then you and Mrs. Stumpkiller need to be extra careful then, or you need to stop using mailorder! :crackup:

I was born in Aug. 1954, I'll be 51 this year. I started muzzleloading about 1970, lasted until the late 80's. Then I thought I wanted to be a race car driver.(just local dirt tracks.) Just started back up. Seems the more things change, the more they stay the same! With the internet a lot more information is available.....loojack

Well you're close, but as I recall from a past a while back Backwoodshunter is 16 or 17. I don't think he posted here, but he did mention his age.

[redhairedwench]

jaybe, I guess I'm one of the younger set here. I'm 37, been in the hobby over 20 years, though. Started out 'skinnin' and it just snowballed from there! I currently have three generations of my immediate family all in the hobby, my parents, me and my son! :redthumb:

As I was greeting the new people who have become members, it occurred to me that almost every day two to four new members come aboard. That led to the thought of the average age of forum members. Part of the concern about the future of the sport is attracting younger people to Muzzleloading - - so - what's your age?
I'll start - I'm 60.
:thumbsup:

57, and hoping soon to be 58 :thumbsup:

 

[blackhorse]

52 hard earned years come April. feels like 62, looks like 32 wanna be 22 LOL LOL actually my best years were 30 and 40's but I am liking my 50's

 

Let me take my shoes off and start counting..opps still not enough fingers and toes.
Old will be 20 years older that I will ever be so i guess 54 in May makes me still young :blah:

Just as I thought - we've had another 12 give their age since the last computation, and the average has changed only slightly - from 48.4 to 48.0. For a while there I thought it was going to come down quite a bit with all them youngin's coming on - but - looks like right around 48 is the average.
