Dan,
Thanks for the comments, but don't let age put you off. I'm 57 and started shooting pistol competitively in 1973 after enlisting in the Army. I got into it very heavy while a cadet at West Point from 1974-1978 but soon thereafter stopped shooting bullseye and shot revolver in IPSC for many years. I didn't start up with bullseye until 2005. While I got my first leg points in 1974 I didn't go Distinguished until 2006, the same year I went Distinguished Revolver. I remember when I got back into it in 2005 I couldn't even stand properly for more than a few seconds. I kept losing my balance. All very embarrassing. Bottom line: its worth the effort to just dive in and shoot. I have no doubt that your old form will begin to show itself in no time at all. Just remember - age and experience will overcome youth and strength every time. Just don't turn your back on Valkyriekl. He'll kick your butt when your not looking.
Keith
