I'm 51. My wife is 51, as well. Oldest son is 28,(recurve only) and youngest stepson is 24 and flirts with trad, but still hunts a wheelie bow.
Longbows, you see, do not make mistakes…there is no tuning to distract attention from the task at hand or provide excuses when arrows wind up in places we did not ask them to visit.

58 for a few more months.

I'm pleasantly surprised so many folks under 40 are discovering recurves and longbows.

I don't think we excite the archery manufacturers much though because we don't buy lots of accessories.

The average age in our family of 3 is 25, in December the average will drop to 18.75, but the family size will increase.
