How Old Is Everyone?

[ImprovedModel56Fan]

That's MC now. Me thinks.

Yes, it is. You seem to be on top of this rating thing.

In 20 years close to 80% of us will be dead.
Not enough left to make up the loss.

 

[rwsmith]

You are an.....

Man, looks like there's a bunch of old farts here. I love ya though, two of my very best friends are 56 and 76. I'm 37 and have been in to Smith's pretty hard for 15 years or so. I also like Colt SAAs. Gun guys my age don't quite get me.

You are an honorary Old Fart. Wear the title proudly.

A few simple lifestyle changes can make you physically half your chrono years compared to the general population. If you can move you can do it. It''s never too late. And the kicker is not that difficult. BTW, I'm 67 and still working.

I was 52, smoker, and had a heart attack. Then 10 years ago developed type II diabetes. I decided to fight it and now I feel awesome. All that "bad luck" from bad choices on my part became a blessing in disguise.

Well, I'll be dead for sure! Ain't no doubt about that. In my old, decrepit state, I'm not even sure I'm gonna make it through this coronavirus business! It seems to be especially dangerous to us seasoned senior citizens with "underlying issues." Hell, I've got underlying issues under other underlying issues. I've got 'em stacked up!

Well, one good thing: I've managed to lose 22 pounds in just over a month. I'm doing the low carb thang. And that sounds like a really good start until you figure out that I'm still at least 100 pounds overweight by so-called "ideal weight" standards.

I'm surprised that only 380 members voted in this poll. I would imagine there are way more active members than that on here!

The older I get, the better I was.

I am living proof that any man can peak at 18 years old...

 

[DeathGrip]

I was in my 40's when I joined this forum.

 

[rbmac52]

Turned 68 earlier this month.

Never thought I'd make it to 50...

 

[Puller]

For me, the results of the poll explain a lot about the responses to COVID-19 discussions.

 

[Cleandean]

I am old enough to remember when Lady Gaga was " Sarah Jessups".

 

[OLDSTER]

About 3 months older than when this thread started.

70..the average demographic on the forum, 60-70+, well reflects the group appreciation of a fine revolver, who of us didn't play with a silver six shooter cap gun as kids, wishing for the real thing?

Cannot even remember the last time I saw a cap gun in action.

 

[Warren Sear]

I'm so old that when I was young, there were no antiques; everything was still new!

 

[susieqz]

this poll doesn't tell you who likes
pretty revolvers.
it just tells you who will join silly forums.

I thought this Model 57 looks pretty good.

 

[snuffy51]

Wife says I'm 68 going on 16.

 

[ameridaddy]

So how many have served aboard "Old Iron Sides"?
Still a commissioned ship in the US Navy......

I'm not quite that old, but I did ride with Pershing on the Mexican Punitive Expedition.

 

[crazyphil]

I'm only a young 85. Never felt very old until I read this thread. Thanks
for nothing.

I am a 29 year old millennial and when I was young we still had cap guns. But I haven't seen them for sale in stores since after 9/11 or so.
