57. Started when I was about 5 with my dad's ancient Daisy BB gun. Got my first pellet rifle, a Crosman 760, when I was about 10. Discovered PCP air rifles a few years ago and an addiction was born.

I’m circling the drain at 73. One eye droops and one pupil is a different size to the other but I just laid down a 5 shot group with my new 22 cal. Impact with the power plenum and this is my best group yet! Check it out.

Dang Chuck, you didn't look a day over 55 by my standards. Keep shooting and enjoying what your doing and it'll at least keeping you feeling young and happy. At least that's what I'm banking on. Keep on brother.

70 and 1/2, haha, nephew sent me a Ted Bier video about 6 years back and I was blown away. I’d never heard of a PCP and Ted’s shooting blew me away. It helped that I hate non native species. My first PCP was a .177 Daystate Regal, and I have a .25 Vulcan2 tuned by Tony. I traded in a .25 BantamHP for a .25 Wolverine HP which I traded in for my Vulcan2. I love my Vulcan and really like my Regal, though I may sell it.

Yikes I'm 79 been into “BB” guns for many years...went the benchrest route evolved to a Thomas then a relocation (Florida, of course) on a good chunk of property with not 1 but 2 ranges (usually benchrest 'n small amounts of hunting) one out to 150 yards dangling suspended targets at various yardages. Other “challenge”range with paper for sighting-in out to 75 yards. However gotta brewing dilemma looking to pop for (the list is too long) a FX Impact or Wildcat or Brocock new bantam sniper XR in 22. Not sure I'm a Bullpup guy and not wishing to haul around a weighty beast. Thoughts?

I'll be 66 on my next birthday and have reached "full retirement age" as far as Social Security goes. Still working full time.
Started target shooting .22 rifles in 1965 at a summer camp, involved with the NRA marksmanship program. Made it as far as Expert in 1969 with a shooting club located in the basement of a local church in New Rochelle, NY. Back in those days there were high schools that had shooting teams in New York. Imagine that.
Compete these days, when I can, in CMP and NRA Highpower matches. Air guns are an auxiliary hobby. Prefer Feinwerkbau, Air Arms, and Weihrauch. Mostly springers but have a couple of SSP. Dabble occasionally with 10 meter rifle and my FWB 603.

We had a shooting team at my high school too. We considered them nerds who couldn’t be jocks. Now look at me I’ve joined the nerds haha.

In high school I knew it all.
Afterwards, when I found my calling, I discovered while moving up in responsibility that the more I learned, the more I realized how much I did not know.

Turning 50 in June. Shooting since a young boy. PCP addiction set in about two years ago. Talked the wife into an early 50th birthday present on Black Friday last year of a Brocock Bantam HP/Aztec scope package from AoA. There’s no turning back now.

Come on someone, do the math and I'll give you an atta-boy. There should be enough post to give us a definite good enough, almost there answer. I'd guess 57 years of age.
