I'm 60 and my next purchase is going to be a DPMS G2 AP4. I want to use it for deer and hog hunting as I'm using ground blinds more and more. A short barrel carbine in .308 is just the ticket.
I wear tactical pants as casual wear because they are comfortable and familiar as I was an infantryman and infantry officer. I like cargo pockets to stuff things in that would crowd a hip pocket.
While I don't buy into all of the tactical gear some of it is useful.
As far as the younger generation, if it gets them into shooting and hunting, I'm for it. My daughter's boyfriend bought an AK. I have taken him hunting a couple of times. He wants to deer and hog hunt with it. I said sure you can. I mounted a scope on it last night and we are going to the range soon to try it out.
Since he got interested, now my daughter is interested in shooting again.
I'm keeping an open mind as I get older and if we don't, we risk our sports dying out IMO.
