70, in the hot dry foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains in California. The first single shot rifle I used was a Trapdoor Springfield that my father had bought for $3.00. It was quite a nice rifle, I think it was an arsenal rebuild from parts, but was just like new.

83 been there, done that, lol, by way of NY, KY, IN, CA, CO, Fl Keys, and now kicking back and enjoying my rifles in North Eastern TN.
Cheers boys

70 and still building rifles in southwestern New Mexico. Looking forward to a whitetail hunt next month, only issue is deciding what single shot to use.

63, Retired from the Navy 23 years ago. Still work for the Navy as a civilian.  1860-1890 period guns have been my interest since I was 18.  At this point, I mostly enjoy the challenge of making odd, long obsolete or unobtainable rimfire and centerfire ammunition, and shooting rifles that have sat dormant for decades for lack of ammunition.

I'm almost 77, live in Bloomington, Indiana, and like all single shots, though I prefer tip-ups as a class and Stevens as a maker.  Nowadays I'm exclusively a collector and small-time restorer.  I do not have access to a range, either public or private; moreover, even when there were a few ranges within doable driving distance, I was banned from them because my deafness was understandably considered a "hazard" by the range officers.

83, hiding behind the Redwood Curtain.  As a young man, I used to hunt.  Went to work as a forester for the US Forest Service in 1970.  That cured me of wanting to hunt and especially of being in the woods during hunting season. Local folks got their livestock close to the house and painted "horse" or "cow" on the sides of each critter.  40 years as a forester, then hydrologist, and the hunters appear to have gotten less responsible each year.  Hunting season is the time to work on maps and reports.  ATVs have not improved things.

I have 2 ranges available & accessible to me, and access to a ranch for very long range target sessions.  One of the ranges is open to the public on weekends.  Don't do my "rangemaster" sessions much. The general public is less than impressive, lacking in any sort of safety-consciousness.   

First single shot was a cut-down Springfield-made 1870 Navy roller.  No ammo for such things back in the mid-1950s.  Grandpa converted it to a .410.  Don't have it any more, but there are 20+ single shots on the racks.  Not interested in shooting anything else, except maybe a Krag.  They are so smooth.

I'm 76 and all in favor of women- but repeaters, not single shot version! I live in the california colony of Nevada.
For those that don't know, the man in the hat in Joe's trophy girl photo is J.C. Agajanian. Big car owner, promoter and personality in Indy, Sprint and Midget autos. Sport got a lot out of the man and he got a lot out of it.

Celebrated the 32nd anniversary of my 39th birthday this past spring.  Central Iowa, just south of Interstate 80, half way between two places that few folks want to go to...Des Moines and Iowa City. I'm also a political refugee from the Peace Loving Peoples' Socialist Democratic Republic of California.
