    I get polled quite enough on the 4473, thank you,,,,,,,
    More "This is what happened when I,,,,," and less "What would happen if I,,,,"

    I was pretty much in the larger demographic groups in the poll. However as part Irish and part English in heritage I was compelled, compulsive, and compelsioned to choose "other/mixed" as heritage choice. I may look white but with my Irish vs English heritage there is an overwhelming internal conflict! Take that you demographers! 10 ga

    PS. Rather than hunter or not hunter the question should be "do you kill and eat your own food OR just eat what you find that is already dead?"

    The thing I find interesting is in the first two questions, i.e. male or female. There are 362 voters. Of those 362, 308 identified as male and 5 identified as female. Now this adds up to: 308 +5 = 313 voters, or 86.46%. 362 minus 313 equals 49 voters who did not identify as either male or female. I have to ask myself: What are the other 13.54%???? I must admit this question would likely never have entered my mind but for the (almost) out of control thread on transgender(?) folk currently running in the "off topic" sub-forum. So, any takers???

    I would bet that a lot of people on this forum are first generation reloaders and casters. I certainly am, and I managed to corrupt my best friend with it as well!
    Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.

    It skipped a generation with me. My grandpa did, but not my dad.

    Appalachian American here.

    While I fit in all the largest groups it's good to see that there is better than a smattering that aren't just old white guys. Our hobby (?) needs diversity if it's going to continue to thrive. Great poll! Thanks for the peek at who we are.

    Same here. My Dad was a hunter but not a reloader. My Grandfather was a Father to him and us, me and my brother. Started us shooting, hunting, reloading and casting. I still have the molds that we started with.

    My mom's dad was a reloader, not a caster. I'm the first person I've ever known in person to cast.

    I work on a team of 12 people in Corporate Security and all are under the age of 30, except for one 37 yr old and me, and I'm 49. The rest are ages 22 to 28 and all are males.

    So you have ten guys that are "Millenials". Out of those ten, four have served in the military. Out of those ten, one identifies as Christian and actually goes to church. Four are conservative, two are libertarian, the rest are liberal. Six enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking or camping. Only three actually hunt. Only four own guns. Only one has a CCW permit. None reload. None cast.

    Seven play video games. Three own homes. Two have kids. Four have been married and divorced. All but one uses profanity.

    By the time I was 25, I was married with two kids and owned a home. Seems the trend these days is to delay growing up as long as possible.

    Lol. Actually pretty interesting results. Just remember when you write your college paper, don't forget to cite and mention us all.

    Side note: The ones that are over 85. I want to be like you. My thoughts on longevity have evolved over the years. I just want to be able to hunt, shoot, fish and garden till i die happily while taking a nap after tracking Ninja Deers.
