I am 46 and I assumed I was a baby compared to most on this board. I got interested in guns with handguns and military rifles around mid 80's. Now most of my guns are double shotguns 2 triggers....

I'll be 35 next month. I bought my first double (12 ga Antonio Zoli O/U) when I was college. I was probably 20 or 21.
Oddly, I only have one shotgun that is younger than me, a 28 ga Sig/Rizzini that a girlfriend gave me for Christmas in 02 or 03. Maybe I should buy something circa 1975.

52 this year, carried a hand me down (from my great uncle)Stevens 16 ga pump until Dad finally let me use his big goose hunting double in the blind at age 14, and I've been hooked ever since. 12 ga, 3 inch heavy goose loads, pulled both triggers at the same time by accident that day. First time I ever really saw 'stars'. But I keep coming back for more!!

I’m 59; At 12 My first shotgun was Grandpa’s lever action Winchester 10 ga. My brother and I used to buy shells one at a time at the hardware store. I took apart his 10 gage Flues when I was thirteen and knew everything. Just got it back together last year. Got my own model B fox When I came home from the service

I guess we need to do this every couple of years to see how many we have lost! 68 and will turn 69 in April. Got my first side by side when i was 14,a Fox 20 gauge. Use to look at the Sears catalog at the doubles they had listed and the $350.00 Winchester 21! Bobby

63 and bought my first double (first yr. Ithaca NID) when I was a very ripe 55 so I'm late to the party. Had a couple O/Us before that.

A fine older gentleman named Howard Reed was the main SxS shooter at my old club, San Gabriel Valley Gun Club. I and others used to make fun of him, with his outdated doubles and two triggers. He's gone, now, but I'm proud to have known him and very happy to admit that I learned a lot from him and his "oddball" guns of choice.
