Age Poll

[SGT ROCK 11B]

It was asked on another thread about our ages at the S&W Forum. So I will add a Poll.

Original Thread Link: Two questions.. Average age and what got you started?

 

[snuf]

From looking at the results it looks like a bunch of old farts on here

Yup, just turned 70. I never dreamed I’d live this long, if I would have known I would have taken better care of myself.

 

[pantannojack]

At 74 I just had my annual blood work checked. No issues, good oil pressure, air in the tires, just creaky ball joints. I drink beer, wine, whiskey; I eat red meat. NO SMOKE since 1989.

 

[lkabug]

I'm closer to 80 than 75. I still have air in the tires, however they may well benefit from being recaped. But the fuel tank still has a few gallons.

 

[Birdgun]

So this is where all the members of this battalion are at...

John T.

 

[NCBeagle]

49 years old. Rolling up on 50 in March.

 

[Harper]

Pushin' 80 pretty hard. Lot of us "semi-old farts."

 

[Shark Bait]

Just hit 60 in August and retired for the last time a week ago.

 

[AJ]

Going on 73 soon, also never thought I would live this long!

Cuz it’s a revolver forum.

 

[glenwolde]

Cuz it’s a revolver forum.

So you're saying......

 

[steelslaver]

I'm closer to 80 than 75. I still have air in the tires, however they may well benefit from a bretreated. But the fuel tank still has a few gallons.

I am closer to 100 than 70. It is possible that I could make 100, there ain't no way I will ever be 70

 

[Shark Bait]

Respect steelslayer! My dad made it to 93 plus. Take care sir.

 

[mrcvs]

About 85% of us are 50 or older. Almost 45% are over age 70.

I didn’t expect us to be particularly young, but this is longer in the tooth than expected.

I wonder what this forbodes for the interest in Smith & Wessons in the near & distant future?

 

[Mark8]

Yeah, folks on this forum are even older than I expected, but so what? And I don't fear for revolvers either. Around here, there's no gun store without at least a couple of S&W revolvers. We'll be fine.

 

[rwsmith]

I'm in the second biggest group....

.... 9 months from now I'll be in the biggest group. Providing that I make it.

 

[mtgianni]

Most telling is the 0 in the 90's column that shows how little we really have left.

 

[Truckman]

I voted in the 70-79 category, but that's subject to revision if my doctor can still detect a pulse in a couple of years......Ben

 

[gwpercle]

Yup, just turned 70. I never dreamed I’d live this long, if I would have known I would have taken better care of myself.

Or ... at least had a LOT MORE fun when I was still young , strong and vigerous ...
Gary

 

[walter o]

Well I am 87 and still semi- active .I walk TO THE BATHROOM 6 TIMES A NITE.

 

[jem102]

73 and as others have said surprised I made it this far. Dealing with some health issues but the Dr's have been able to keep things in check so as already stated; a few gallons left in the tank, tires hold air and the engine runs. My Lord has been extremely loving and generous with me.

 

[H Richard]

Well, I'm in that small group just past the big group.


11/3/24: I find it a little disturbing there are so many in the 60+ categories, and so few in the 20-40 age categories.

 

[pharmer]

We're all in the greatest fighting regiment known to man, "The Big Brown One." All our exploits are legendary and the telling only gets better over time. Joe

Yup, I feel like I was too busy working to spend much time having fun.

 

[jem102]

Well ain't that the truth now!

 

[HeloMt]

I always knew I would die...I just never thought I would get old!

 

[NYlakesider]

As I type this the clock says 79 years. Rather surprising, as like many on here I have a bunch of medical problems.

Many I think due to my occupation. (pipefitter/welder) Exposed to many chemicals and nuclear radiation, a 22' fall from a tank and working outside in NY states nasty weather.

 

[Mark8]

Average age so far: 66.2

 

[pmanton]

86 and I wanna be 18 again!
