All You Young Guys, Report In....

[Fantasma]

Hello~~ I thought this would be a nice thread to start...


How old are you?

How did you get into firearms?

[The Cable Guy]

I just turned 19 in July.

Got into firearms since I was interested at a young age. Tried paintball, airsoft, but nothing compares to the real thing.

[palakaboy]

Cool, I am 19 also. I turned In July too..

My dad introduced me to the fun sport of guns, CalGuns introduced me to the addiction....(The bug that makes me buy guns every 2-3 months, more if i made more money. )

[The Cable Guy]

ive already dropped over 500 bucks on my mossberg 500.

About to spend about 1200 on my .22 AR and probably going to pick up a 5.56 upper in two paychecks time.

Wow, I thought I was young for the sport at 24.

24

Dad and uncle got me into guns. Dad was a hunter got me into bolt guns and shotguns, my uncle was a biker who got me into uzis and black rifles.

[ChrisXD45T]

I forgot part two of the question.
I got into guns on my own, well, a long with a few of my close friends. But none of our parents or family where/are 'gun people.'

I'm 21 and I came addicted to firearms when I turned 21. I knew why father kept firearms (self defense) and I found out why he spent so much money on them (they are so fun to shoot!). I inherited them and I have since gone on to buy two Wilsons and spend thousands on ammo and other accessories. This is by far my most expensive hobby to date.

Turned 19 in May, started out way way back when I was a little tike bugging my parents for books about guns and whatnot, I used to go to China every year and I would get a big picture book full of guns.

Then I got an air rifle in July 2007, a 22 rifle in December 2007, and then high powered bolts.

Nobody in my entire bloodline is interested in this stuff, just me

[LkPillsburyDude]

Im 24, got into shooting at a young age. Most of my friends shoot and some of my family does too. I dont have an AR yet, maybe at the end of this month.

[BlackDrop50]

23, been shootin since I was 12. Every weekend with my dad when I was little, and I still go to that same range frequently. Safety is embedded into my brain. Passed my HSC test with none failed and didn't study at all.

[vinny_land]

Turn 20 in three more months. Been shooting for 3 years since I grew up in an anti-gun house but learned the basic principles of gun safety from my friend's dad who showed me the right and wrong of firearms.

[Matt C]

24, I've been into shooting as long as I can remember, which is odd since my family was pretty anti.

[Jonar]

im 22.
started shooting standard issue SA-80's (Enfield L8A51) in England when i was 14.
then got into pistols when I came to the US.
And now I'm infected with BRD.

Fun stuff.
I seem to always get into expensive hobbies. sigh... why couldn't I have just done used stamp collecting or something
