My 79yr-old Uncle got his FAL renewed last year, they would only do it for 5yrs. They werent keen to renew it, and didnt appreciate being told that he was sharper than them, by a referee, when asked if they thought he was 'doo-lally' in any way.

Shooting is one of the few activities that can remain relevant for an entire lifetime. The prospect of being denied an FAL due to old age is pretty shit...especially if you're still mentally sound. 79's not all that old, either. Hope he can get it renewed once again in 5 years from now...
