Average Age Of the Active Paintballer

[IDriveBug]

26 now, first game was in 1990 and started playing seriously in 1991. The best part of getting older is that I have to mow a lot less yards ($8 a yard X 6 yards on my street back in the day) to get a day on the field now...

Hmm deja vu, didn't someone poll this question a year or 2 ago?

Yeah, but we are a year or two older now.

Based on the amount of replies, the average paintballer is about 31-32 years old.

Just turned 42 over the weekend, played Saturday, a little sore but nothing more than expected for a cubical dweller.

Until you make the same thread on a board that isn't filled with old throwbacks wishing the glory days of 'Mags never went away

But seriously, it's no secret AO has an older userbase than does PBN/PBR/some of the others. Yet still, looking at the other thread, with the poll, the bulk of respondents are 21-25.

Yeah, but Peanut Butter Nation is set up now so that it actively discourages participation by anyone with any modicum of decency. It's just a cesspool of agglets. So if you're going to mention them then you might ask what is the average age of players with are not virginal punks with tiny little pee pee's.

there is a guy that is really big into scenario games, i think he is well into his 70's (i want to say he was like 78 but i dont want to over age the guy) he can still kick some butt

Well I'll be 51 in a few short months. I have made up my mind, I am stopping counting at 55.

I am 52. I guess that makes my average age 26 I have been playing for 1.5 years and I love it. I am in fairly good shape and very agressive, so I am always running around (weather I need to or not). I am usually sore for the next day or two. I wish I had my 26 year old body back.
