i only started in February last year , i'm 51 now and love it i've got a dodgy knee after two ops but its great , i suffer a bit the next few days after a game but i wouldn't stop now , once you've got the bug it can get expensive , my collection in just over a year amounts to four assault rifles , three pistols , various amounts of rigs and accessories , luckily i've got a man cave in the loft where i can hide it from the wife !!
