As such we have been both successful and unsuccessful. Right now we get most of our new memberships from this site. 40_Rod, Do you happen to have a breakdown of membership by age group available? I'm curious to know which age bracket(s) the majority of the new memberships fall into. Thanks, BP

	No I do not have an age breakdown. The last time it was measured I believe it was around 65. I suspect that it has always been about the same. Shooting old single shots is something that you seem to come to later in life. 40 Rod

	40_Rod, I pretty much suspected that, but its always good to get confirmation. Thanks for the reply. BP

	I was at the Conestoga Gun Club shoot in PA today and I think that at age 57 I was one of the three youngest out of about 20. Several were a lot older than 65, for sure.

	Cat Whisperer, if you're a youngster at 63 then I must not have been born yet at 27. The old guns and the new ones just appeal to me for some strange reason.

	Quote: Cat Whisperer, if you're a youngster at 63 then I must not have been born yet at 27. The old guns and the new ones just appeal to me for some strange reason. Old is an attitude. I still like the 'oldtimer' remarks: The oldtimer firning the .45-70 was asked by the youngster if it didn't hurt a lot. He remarked, Sonny, at my age it ALL hurts - so no big deal. I knew for YEARS that I'd never live long enough to see 21. Somehow, by God's grace, I'm still here. I have a number of friends that will be forever 21 - thanks to VN. The old guns are cool - some FINE workmanship and fine marksmanship with really old and simple equipment - not the instant, nor I want it NOW, or 'replicated' items - but hand made with care AND precision. Works of art.
