I was wondering what the average members age is. You don't have to make a post as to you actual age but please vote. I think it may be interesting. By the way I am 41.Thanks Dale

Matt has a similar poll in the GBO Polls forum.

I did not know there was another poll. Dale

I think a lot of folks don't know that section is there, that's why I pointed it out.

We're old and older.

The wife and friends were calling me Graybeard long before I found this forum. A member of the public wanted to know how to recognize me a couple of weeks ago at a F&G function. I told him simple look for the only member with a graybeard.

Well, I'm 56, but in body only. When I look in the mirror is about the only time I realize how old I am (or when I'm feeling the aches & pains). I figure if I can go to the range more often to play with my toys it will keep me younger.

I'm currently i the 41 to 45 bracket but not for much longer. Oh well, growing old beats the alternative.

if we are voting all the way into May, some may have to change their answer.
How long does it take to figure out how old you are.
I am 60, and very proud to have made it this far.

The reason the poll runs so long is for people that may be away or don't visit often. I see no need to change your vote. This will give us an idea of the average age of the members. Dale

I don't understand why changing my vote will change the avarege, i will be 61 in nov. but if people don't mahe it by more than once in 4 mo. they probably won't care.

if you are going to seart changing votes change mine to 15, looks like they need help, if this is a race

plumberroy · « **Reply #19 on:** January 28, 2008, 05:15:24 PM »

I voted 46-50 since I'll be in that group by the end of the week

For what it's worth once you've voted you CANNOT vote again and there is no provision for changing your vote. That's not the way polls work here.

Graybeard, you obviously are not familiar with the Dumbycrat SOP.

rex6666 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 29, 2008, 05:03:26 AM »

I got you GB

Is this still a NEF/H&R thread, and is that bolt gun i see

Looks like the young old and semi old holding the edge. Man what a race

Sourdough · « **Reply #24 on:** January 29, 2008, 08:48:01 AM »

Like I said I'm 58, and retired. The thing I am looking at now is to live long enough to draw enough of that retirement to have made it worthwhile.

GRIMJIM · « **Reply #25 on:** January 29, 2008, 02:31:01 PM »

Just hit 43 Jan 13th. I think I hit it a little too hard.

bubbadoyle · « **Reply #26 on:** January 30, 2008, 12:58:05 PM »

Not to be a smarta$$ but the question does not ask what your age is it asks what the average age is, this could also be taken as a poll of what you "think" the average age of members is. I think we all understand what Dale is getting at though. Anyways I am 34.

We need 10% of 23,371 for an answer that might qualify based on a statistical control point.
Your not trying hard enough people!
