Cast Boolits Demographics

[Lakehouse2012]

This is a great poll, i will say i anticipated all the results, and if anything is possible to change, i would love to find a way to bring all the ethnicities into the mix. Im also a "middle aged white guy" but feel we would all prosper by growing the hobby/sport/passion/obsession to others, somehow?

I thought religion would be an interesting one to list as well.
Of course I'd expect Christian to be the majority based on the bitter clinger banners I see, but you never know.

[runfiverun]

less than 1% of our membership took the poll.
don't get too carried away
but it is a pretty fair representation of the membership.

if anyone cares to look at the numbers you can see why the rules we have are in place.

[OS OK]

It looks like over the years that members have signed up and moved on...these polls always show poor participation compared to actual membership.

So it would appear that LGBT is not well represented here. Hmmmm.

you might conduct a poll and find out

[robg]

So we are old male white conservative libertarian hunters in the main . my kind of crowd.

[Hickory]

OK....10% are neither male or female!?

That's the society we live in.

Haven't been on here long, but I can tell this is a pretty large and diverse group of individuals. Got to thinking on the commute home tonight it might be fun to do a poll and see what kind of makeup with have in this community.

Been here a little longer than you, don't spend much time here, so this is only my 2nd post. Fit in multiple categories both in your poll, and in some of the first 3 or 4 posts of suggested other poll questions. Not a hunter, but only for lack of a good place to hunt, and for a time, lack of good things to hunt with. 24 years in the USAF, in three different career fields. ADD and CDO (like OCD but with the letters in the correct alphabetical order.) Yes, it can be challenging. Not a Trump fan. Getting more and more favorably impressed with him, however. Small "p" patriot. Likewise democrat & republican. Not an Islamophobe, but not real fond of Islamofacists, either. Pretty much despise certain people who were also in the running, but had Large "D" after their names. Not real fond of most of the folks who had the Large "R" after theirs. May not have any black ancestry, but wouldn't bet against it, and the rest is certainly mixed enough. When I do hunt, I like to eat what I kill. Participated in the 1st Persian Gulf War, and was pissed when we were required to leave before the job was done. Not a whole lot happier that several of my much younger cousins had to go back there more than a decade later and help hunt down Saddam and his sons and their supporters. Just keep watching the pendulum swing, and wondering what will happen next. Spend WAY too much of my time watching how people who aren't members of this group seem to forget the Second Amendment, while trying to pack a whole bunch of other stuff in the other 9 that I can't see there, and claim that THEY are sacrosanct. I'm getting to be an old man, I guess.

Not everyone advertises their orientations or preferences. I try not to. And I really don't care all that much about yours. So far as I'm concerned, as long as all parties are consenting adults, and they don't try to rub my nose in it, it's between them and God. Or Goddess. Or whatever. Not my monkey, not my circus. I MIGHT care if they prefer revolvers to automatics, or short to long, cast or jacketed. And the last financial donation I made to anyone was the legal defense fund for a trans-person who ran afoul of New Jersey's (IMO) racist & sexist & anti-human rights laws on possession of firearms. Oh. I guess I made one of my preferences clear there, didn't I? BTW, I don't even live in NJ.

[JeffinNZ]

I just managed to vote ticking every category. Covering my bases.

[paul h]

Well 12.67% of the members aren't sure if they're male or female, so maybe the transgender crowd is better represented than you'd think.

[A pause for the COZ]

Well that poll did not surprise me one bit. Birds of a feather kind of thing.
If your interested and your stomach can hold out. Just pop onto any NY Times forum/ conversation and make a simple conservative statement.
You will learn real quick what the other 1/2 of this country thinks of you with about 75 non flattering descriptive terms.

[Lloyd Smale]

Only 1 percent and we already have 4 admitted liberals. At that rate we would end up with about 400!!! Wonder how many have the nerve to step up and admit it

less than 1% of our membership took the poll.

I got a nephew in NYC that thinks he's the only redneck around. But then he moved to Connecticut.

[308Jeff]

308 voters. All is copacetic in the world....

[No_1]

Polls which lead to excellent general conversation are always welcome.

[dbosman]

I won't encourage polls as in general the data is to build out some database. I've never seen a database that offered a good reason to be on it, let alone be classified by it. Read a couple of thousand posts and you'll get a good understanding of "us".

Pretty singular minded group lol
