How old are ya?

[embrr2]

65 years old but feel older, had knee replaced Monday. Dad set me up with a 410 at 6years old squirrel hunting by myself at 7. Bet I didn’t weight 80 lbs. That 410 seem like a canon back then.

Well, so far I’m not surprised by the age results. Most fall in the 60-90 category. Maybe need some type of bragging rights to the oldest and youngest.

65 and been burning bp off and on since 76’..
I took a 10 year break in the 80’s too shoot a few thousand arrows..

1/3 the age of my Muzzleloaders.

73. Dad got his first M/L shotgun when I was in grade school. That started it. So, maybe 65 years.

40. Starters shooting muzzleloaders about 12 years ago, took a hiatus when the kids were small, and now am getting back into it.

my daughter is 55,i was shooting BP for years before she was born. started with Bp in 1958. I really don't know what my true age is. mom didn't register me for some years. old enough to have too many hard miles on me.

I grew up watching Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett on a black and white tv with rabbit ears that only got two channels, if that tells you anything.

47. I bought my first pistol when I was 16, it was a brass frame Colt Navy. Man, my mom was mad.

Sounds like a Steve Earle song but it’s true.

68. I thought getting old would take longer. Bought my first Dixie kit in the 70's after reading the Foxfire article featuring Herschel House.

 

[Sean E Bug]

[nchawkeye]

67 years old, bought my first muzzleloader in 1975, I was 20... So I've been shooting them for about 47 years...

 

[mushka]

I'm 78 and have been shooting something for 70 years. Sadly been shooting BP for about 4 years now.

 

[1950DAVE]

They say you are only as old as you feel. Some days I am the oldest man on earth.

 

[jrs51861]

61. Have shot muzzleloaders off and on since 1990. Lately only my black powder guns are leaving the safe while the unmentionables haven't been fired since 2020.

 

[Urban Coyote]

Old enough to know better, or so I've been told more than once. I'm still reminded from time to time but not as much as I once was.

I've been sending all manner of patched round balls down range for nigh on 47 years, I've even had a critter or two step in front of a few.

 

[Gtrubicon]

I’m 46, for another 30 days.
