Active user age-group, out of curosity.

[Siress]

I'm just curious, what's the age group like around here? I know there's a general knowledge about it being relatively high for a paintball community. Let's get some data on it, though.

[Lazarus78]

interesting. i thought mcb would skew much older.

[JonM]

That was my thought too. Most everyone I play with in my area from MCB tends to skew a bit older.

[RAZRBAKK]

28, but 58 at heart.

[Siress]

I'm well over 70, based on musculoskeletal pain.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Now if it was for maturity level we’d all be in the 0-20 range.

[Axel]

NO I'M... doesn't.

[Jordan]

interesting. i thought mcb would skew much older.

Don't forget, we millennials can be a nostalgic bunch.

[spikeball]

Just turned 33 but I've been called an old soul or wise for my age before.

[VonBraun63]

Use a #2 pencil and fill in the 38 on my Scantron sheet

[ElliotB]

lol, did you ever try the wax (chapstick) on the edge so the reader doesn't mark anything incorrect? I did once, I think it worked, but they manually checked too... so I was marked off in red ink instead of the machines marks.

[VonBraun63]

Never tried that. Hahah. Sounds plausible but most of the time the machine didn’t work so the teachers used a layover answer sheet. It looked like a used lightbrite paper.

[lew]

Curse you for reminding me of those bastard things!

[Phantom1313]

32 here....I guess I just never grew up in terms of hobbies...it's still paintball, bikes, and video games for me....been that way since I was roughly 13 or 14. Except now I can play like the big boys on MCB and make my wallet cringe pretty regularly.

[Siress]

I'm hoping the drop off at 40 to 41 is because the sport was only becoming known when the 31-40 bracket were growing up... rather than an omen that interest is going to dwindle with age.

[Rusty Brass]

40 seems to do a number on most people but I think we had better representation before the hack. Maybe the old guys will come back, maybe not. The bell curve we've got going is kind of uncanny though.

[mustangii]

Well there is 2 of us in the 61-70 range.

[autococker04]

Well if that’s not the nicest bell curve I’ve seen this year, I don’t know what is.

[Axel]

Its because the kiddies love their social medias and their Reddits, and the fogies are still trying to log in to alt.sport.paintball

[LUKE]

Darn youngins with their calculatin’ click-here fancy polls and such. Why back in my day, we just typed in A/S/L? for that info, ‘cause that was the style of the time. And we liked it that way. And I’m sure at least some of those 19/F/Cali replies were legit.

And now you can probably guess my generation

[Cdn_Cuda]

Oh I remember those days. Good old A/S/L. Like tinder but no swiping and no pictures.

[martix_agent]

Those were the innocent days of the internet when we had nothing better to do but argue about pirates vs ninjas.

[NONOBLITUS]

Playing for 30 years and turning 48 this October
