After reading this thread,  http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=124863  I am curious how old the gang members really are?  :dunno:

Benjy,
Falling in the 51-60 group makes me look a lot older than I feel.
Can still shoot bows up to 102# with enough confidence to hunt with them. But my "preferred" hunting weight is 75-80#. Just what I feel most comfortable with in this country.
Have no problem going up in weight if planning a foreign hunt and higher poundage is "required by law".

I'm far from being a "Mr. America" type, just have always shot heavy since the start, and it's what I feel most comfortable with.
To each their own.

I saw that thread and tippytoed away from it.
I figured that with my knees sounding like sacks of gravel, and shoulders with spurs in the AC joint, and my issues with tendonitis, and weighing forty pounds more than his wife, I might come off as being a little cranky.

And yes, I am in the most popular age bracket in your poll. And glad of it! It has always been just plain and simple archery for me, no dark side forays, just shoot what I can handle and strive for more, trying not to wake up Arthur along the way.  I like where I came from, and value the lessons learned on the path. I have learned a bunch more with this internet stuff, and am watching the changing trends.

Everybody to their own kick, I am trying to maintain personal standards without slamming others. In the shooting sports, your real opponent is yourself.

I knew that I was on the other side, but not by that much.

Hey, I made it into the three %.

A fellow shotgunner (yeah, I know that's a bad word) in his mid-80's says "Let's just say I'm closer to 50 than I am to 40".

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.
