How old are ya?

[No Answers]

A few years ago I was buying some items at an REI store and the young clerk was amazed at my tattered paper membership card #00170XXX. He exclaimed that he had never seen such a small number. I replied, "Kid, I've got gear older than you! I got this card when the Seattle REI was the ONLY store."

71 but only 2 years with the muzzle loader. I'm a late bloomer! LOL

What's that they say? Better late than never?

I bet the average age here is north of 60.




For fun:

How many of those years have you been shooting muzzleloaders? 50 of my 70

Old enough to know better, but still young enough to not care!

Old enough to know better, but the wife says not so.

Me too! I think mine finally gave up……

I blame it on age telling her, I didn't hear you! I call it old age, she calls it "selective hearing". But in my defense, I do wear hearing aids (unless I want to tune someone out), due to too much shooting in my younger years with no ear protection and growing up with the loud rock and roll music of the 60's and 70's.

I wear hearing aids too and for the same reasons. Happy shooting!

25.
I cut teeth on cap and ball revolvers around the time I was 16, then graduated to a traditions kentucky kit, and then went all the way to flintlocks and never looked back.

81 for one more month. Then it's 82. I have dirt in my yard that is younger. In Wyoming I'm Hairy Medicinewolf. In Tennessee I'm Dave.

I’m from Wyoming originally but live in Alaska now. I still get to Wyoming several times a year to visit family. Have always gone by Shortfingers with the Ronnyvoo crowd in Wyoming. Glad to meet you Hairy Medicinewolf.
