I started at age 35 with a glock 19 gen 4. Now at age 38 I have a ruger 10-22, weatherby 12 gauge over under, smith & wesson m&p 15-22, smith & wesson m&p 15 sport, sks, and this past christmas my wife bought me a ruger gp100 wiley clapp. The way it all started was when my dad finally took me shooting at age 35. I guess you could say I am hooked.
