M&P15-22 Owners Age/Occupation

This thread needs to be moved to the nursing home thread. Looks like the average age around here is the mid to upper 50s. That's half a century!

Just kidding, I am almost there too.

Thats was funny. I thought the average age would be between 23-45 to be honest. Good to see the older folks having fun shooting the rifle also.

Being about half of the average age here, I too was surprised at the "older" (I prefer to call them "wiser" myself) people here. I got to thinking about it though, and it makes sense. (exceptions to every rule-keep in mind) The wiser/older folks shoot for enjoyment, relaxation, and fun. Whereas us younger folk like to have the biggest caliber, loudest bang, and most expensive rifle to show off with. Honestly I personally fall in to both shooting types, hence my sport and 15-22. But for the quieter, relaxed shooting types, there's not much out there that beats the reliability, adaptability, and fun-ability(I know, I know) of the 15-22. Stands to reason if the wisest shooters like the 15-22, I made the right choice.
 
78 - and a classic double dipper; AF retired, Postal (Inspection Service and later, Training Supervisor). And, yes, I still drive myself to the range and can see well enough to put 'em all in the kill zone.

Don't worry. Some of us older shooters still like the big boomers and "play" with them now and then too. It's also GREAT seeing the younger generations following the same path we've been on to carry on tradition.
