Had my 79th birthday last week. Started shooting BP 1960 with an 1863 .58 cal Springfield. Lots of NSSA things to do in north Virginia. Dad retired from the Navy 1962, moved to Jupiter, FL, No BP fans in the area then.
65. My Dad bought me a CVA Kentucky rifle kit when I was 13. I didn't get around to putting it together until I was 17. When I say put it together, I mean I just slapped it together. No sanding, staining or bluing, no nothing. It looked terrible. It wasn't until about 10 years later I actually reassembled it properly and shot it.
Dang this thread gives me mixed feelings. We need some more young blood in this hobby, its great we have such knowledgeable and experienced people. I fear with only 18% being under 50 we are going to loose so much in not a long amount of time. I worry in 10 maybe 15 years we won't have many resources left.
