Average Age of Trad Bowhunters

[yogibarrows]

What to you guys think the average age of the trad bowhunter is?  I know that traditional hunters are the minority but at 30 years old I really feel like the minority.

I am curious Chris...~.... Why at 30 do you feel like you're in a very small minority?

I'm no math major but a good random sample can most likely be found here on TG if your willing to do all the work it would take to look up the the numbers and do the math.

I think the real difference won't be found as much in a person's age as in what the importance of what they want to get out of their hunting experiences.

It has been said that "Sometimes with age comes wisdom.... but sometimes age comes by itself"...lol

God bless,Mudd

PS: I've shot every kind bow I could put my hands on but completely traditional for a very long time. True confession compels me to admit even shooting an X-bow at a target last year. (two arrows was enough of that)....lol

Will turn 62 next month. (God willing)

[erictetterton]

Im 24 but have been shooting trad since 18

[graybarkhunter]

Turn 31 in dec...  4 th hunting season  to be trad only. No way will I go back

[kahunter]

Interesting question.  I am 33, but the older I get the more I lean toward trad over "modern" bowhunting.  Age/maturity might definitely have something to do with it for a lot of people in my opinion.
