Fun thread this. I'm 52, and yes the legs and knees don't work as well as couple of decades ago, but hey, guys like Tahr and Brian prove that with a bit of willpower and modern medicine there is no reason to give up on an active lifestyle.
I've been very fortunate to have a mid-life career change, and spent the last decade doing some pretty physical work rather than sitting behind a desk. It has also massively reduced my stress levels. Between that and doing almost daily walks in the mountains with a slightly deranged Jack Rusell / Foxy mongrel has served me well.
I often do field/practical shooting comps with guys who could just as well be my kids, and they don't exactly run away from me or make it up the hills in much faster time, so there is hope![]()
