That 30-40 age group is the one I concentrate on recruiting into our muzzle loading / rendezvous clubs.
Younger men are too busy establishing their careers and starting their families to have time for hobbies. Teenagers can't drive to events or still need adult supervision. The elder group doesn't bring their children because they are grown.
The 30-40 age group have children who are old enough to attend with their parents. These kids will learn to enjoy the hobby and return to it again when they are older. The best way I can see to keep the interest alive.
