Besides guns... what other hobbies take your money? - The Firearms Forum

gipper · 03-16-2004, 09:22 PM

Mine would be guitar and saltwater aquariums, and tinkering, in school for mechanical engineering, so I always like to be building something

bompa · 03-16-2004, 09:34 PM

My wife,my daughter and my grandchildren..Not in that order but all the same all the time..
I would say I was blessed..

hunting, fishing, woodworking, cb radios....yes cb radios, in the age of cell phones, digital this and digital that, i still use cb radios and kickers. But hey, I'm a truck driver so I dabble in cb's. And if anyone is curious my main radio is a Galaxy 88, tuned and peaked of course, about 40 watts barefooted. Road King 56 microphone, 300 watt Silver Eagle 2 pill kicker, and a Wilson 2000 anttenna. Grab the anttenna shaft and my mirror bracket at the same time and it will burn you like a blow torch when it's keyed. Pretty soon my main hobby is going to be changing diapers though......

Historical writing - WWII air power and steam railroading, model railroading and geneology.

gipper · 03-16-2004, 11:17 PM

my dads big into the geneology, lotta roots back in MS, never know who you cross paths with

Silencer · 03-17-2004, 02:42 AM

Guitars, amps and guitar effects processors. For example, it was just on Monday that I paid $1,700 for a new Peavey Wolfgang Special Custom Deluxe electric guitar. The other 11 guitars I currently own were getting lonely.

I promised my wife that I would not own more than a dozen guitars. I had to sell one guitar, that I barely touched, in order to get this new one.

Remington597 · 03-17-2004, 05:13 AM

You mean there are other hobbies besides firearms? Who knew? LOL

Old British cars. Specificly, "Dudley DoRight, my '72 Mk.III Mini Cooper "S". http://www.minipark.net/html/car-70.html

tuckerd1 · 03-17-2004, 07:27 AM

X, Nice mini. There are quite a few of those here in Huntsville.

My main hobby right now is finish builtding my house. Clearing underbrush, cleaning up my land. The land had not been touched for 15-20 years before I bought it. Also, I had 2 places that had been used as dumps before garbage service was started in the county. County is going to provide jail inmate help with these spots.

Then fishing. I have a large creek on the property that I like to wade for flyfishing and spincast for the largemouth, smallmouth and the 'tropical colored' bream. Beautiful colors.

I hunt just to put meat in the freezer. If a sho nuff trophy comes along then BAMM!

Country101 · 03-17-2004, 07:45 AM

Right now I can't afford any other hobbies. I'm trying to pay for school and my wife. Plus, she had a wreck, so I'm doin body work to her car. 2 fenders, a bumper and a passenger door.

I want to do reloading and get some more guns(4 guns doesn't make much of a collection).
