28. Started shooting when I was 8. Dad never reloaded or cast bullets. I got into that on my own; first casting round balls for muzzleloaders at age 14, reloading metallic cartridges at age 19. I started casting for cartridges at (I think) age 21. In fact dad STILL doesn't get into it despite my attempts to get him interested in it- but will still go shooting with me, from time to time.

38 and been into firearms since my early teens. which was somewhat of a annoyance to my non shooting / hunting parents, but made my hunting grandparents smile. I have been a relaoder since my early 20's and starting dabbling with bullet casting by 25 , I have been much more serious about casting in the last 6 or 7 years.

Old, I can recomember when I bought a four cavity Hensley & Gibbs SWGC mould from the factory in San diego. eighteen dollars, with handles. "The Factory was a woodshed in the backyard, had overhead belt driven machines. 1956. Cigarettes were a buck a carton and a coke was a nickel.
Still haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up.
Will be SEVENTY my next birthday. I think somebody must have lied about my age.
Always glad to help the young'ns down the trail.

Life is good

Born in 71

Started casting sling shot round balls, (Mostly round) (Homemade moulds) at age 12 or so

I thank god I am in a family that shoots.

I am the only realoder/caster.

My grandson is getting better with his/my 22 Savage

I cast, reload, shoot

I have a addiction to shooting, and the only way I can afford it is to reload and cast.

My grandson (8 years old), loves to help cast, sort cases ect...
My granddaughter (3 years old), loves to hmmmmm.... well be with grandpa....

Got all the nephews and a niece into it a long time ago. Family get togethers are usually loud and fun!

[whisler]

I will soon be 66, started shoting at age12, have 2 sons and 1 stepson who all like to shoot, daughter & step-daughter not much interested. My youngest son is more of a gun-nut than I am. Started reloading about 20 years ago and started messing about with casting when I got into black powder shooting about 15 years ago. This forum has greatly increased my interest in casting, .

[PineTreeGreen]

66 and still going. Started shooting about 11. Bought my first gun, Stevens single shot 12 ga at 15,$33. Started reloading in the 60's. Casting in the 80's. My girlfriend does not understand why I have all this STUFF.

Can't wait to show my son the ultimate way of life.

[Nardoo]

51 but I don't feel it when I am talking about guns. Two sons whose interest in shooting keep my gun safes empty and me permanently at the loading and casting bench.

My biggest worry is I will die before my ordered Shilo is delivered two years hence.
