Aside from working with/at the church, I enjoy target and casual shooting/plinking, reloading the empties, riding 4-wheelers and trail bikes, camping, hunting, reading, doing Kudzu (sudoku) puzzles and tinkering in my garage shop.

My #1 hobby is digital photography, although i'm not that great at it :lol: But I'm learning. I have an Olympus DSLR camera with various lenses. Am always looking to add to it but lenses can be so expensive. I also enjoy playing with computers, reading and most sports.

Hobbies for me include: hunting, fishing, camping, weightlifting, reading and pretty much any other outdoor activity.

I collect shot glasses too, as a sort of casual hobby (I started in 2003, think I have about 10-15 of them).

Marc, so far you are, but I'd bet there are many others who do -- me for one.

I had an old Bear recurve 50 pound jobby, and after I peeled all the hide off the inside of my left arm and managed to build up calluses on my top two fingers of my right hand, I got pretty good with it -- all arrows in a paper plate at 25 yards, and then I got a visit from Mr. Bursitis.

I gave the bow to a buddy of mine up in KY, and visiting him a few years later, I saw the bow, and picked it up, did the leg-loop and strung it and found that I could pull it easily, apparently the bursitis had receded.

My buddy wouldn't give it back . . .

Hey NEA, I have fooled around a little with binoculars and rifle scopes, using them for long lenses, and I haven't made any good mounts yet, but I have done some pretty interesting work with them . . .

My main hobby is model railroading. We moved recently so the last layout was torn down and I currently don't have a place for a new one but we'll get something sorted out.

Other pastimes include astronomy, hiking, skiing, 4-wheeling, railfanning.

Teddy, what kind of machine do you have ?

I have an 05 Rincon (Honda), a 73 Honda 50, an 85 Yammy Big Wheel and an 07 clone of the old Honda 90 trail, but mine has an elec start 110cc in it.

My wife gets mad when I come in with blood dripping and road rash showing, but I generally heal and like an idiot, go back out and do it again . . .:pray:

I told her a while back that I was gonna get rid of my 4-wheeler, and she said, "Well, praise the Lord!", and I then told her, "Yeah, a buddy of mine wants to swap me a hang glider for it", and she said something else . . . just one word . . .:giveup:

Slug, I'm with ya, man, a member of The New PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals);)

Marc, our daughter is in mid-level management with HP, and she was awarded a huge sword for her department selling the most computers or something.

The sword is about 5 feet long, and is mounted on a nice piece of wood and it looks like it would cost three or four hundred bucks -- it looks like it would be good to sharpen up and use to clear brush . . .

That'd be awesome if you could get a sword used in the movie that is actually SHARP...I'd wear one of those in PUBLIC if I could! :D

I shot archery competitively all through high school. I actually got to train with a former Olympic archery coach one summer. He was the uncle (I think) of one of my parents' coworkers, so he offered to come help us out in a few of our practices. He ended up enjoying himself, though, so he pretty much came over to our house every week and shot with us. :)

Slug, you've definitely got me beat on the collections. I'm gonna have to find somewhere to start keeping mine, though. I'd been just lining them up along the top of my stove, but I just ran out of room there. My brother-in-law's pretty good with woodworking, though, I may just ask if he can build me something for Christmas this year.

I should clarify, I mean 4-wheeling in a truck, i.e. my Jeep, or other times in my friend's Sideflip. The truck's got to get me around town, so I can't go really nuts with it. Now I've got O2 and MAP sensor problems as well...:mad:

Guns, guns, and more guns...

Weither hunting or just out shooting it's great...

I enjoy hanging out in the woods doing anything!

For fishing, set out some lines to check every couple of hours and bass fish between :cool:

I would love to "roll my own" but i've never gotten into it. I've got some good friends that i save brass for and they help me out ;)

So i shoot a mix. In my concealed carry i have factory and in my rifles i have some hot loads :)

How about you?

Mine are Weight Lifting, Video games and target practice

The men's group at my church just restarted their Paintball teams, so I'm considering getting into that as well. I also need to get back into reading... I didn't have time to read for pleasure for the past few months because I was eyeball deep in on-line classes
