Too many hobbies. Things that go bang is just one.

I've tried calling it my hobby, wife doesn't agree. It's an addiction for me. Has been since I was a lil kid. Luckily my youngest son has the same affliction. :bigsmile:

Between shooting, reloading, minor tinkering projects, and building targets . . . yeah, this hobby pretty much consumes every minute of my life that isn't spent at work or sleeping, and it even interferes with those activities.

Oh, and there's this one website that eats up about six hours a day. That doesn't leave a lot of time for anything else.

Is this heaven? Or am I in need of a massive realignment of my priorities?

I know what my girlfriend would say . . . .

Shooting is just a small part of the hobby for me.
Most of my enjoyment comes from fixing, repairing and building firearms.
I would say 99% of the guns I have bought have been broken or in need
of some major TLC.
I am proud to say I have only bought one brand new gun in my life.

I love the shooting part . I put 3 to 5 K rounds down range a year. But my most enjoyable part is collecting . I really enjoy the craftsmanship of well built fire arms .

I'm a 70%er. I shoot at least once a week, normally twice then I have to process the brass and reload it which takes 4 times as long as shooting it. When dry I ride my motorcycle to the range but on occasion I have been known to take my classic car there instead.
Hobbies:
1) wife - my momma didn't raise no fool (she reads this occasionally)
2) Guns - I felt naked in California last week
3) Traveling - preferably a motorcycle is involved
4) Motorcycle & Classic Car are tied for 4th

I'd call it a minor-ish hobby. I like possessing guns and wish I had the means to own more. While I truly enjoy target shooting with them, even cleaning them, I'm more interested in simply having them. My wife cannot understand this, but indulges it.

I also do woodworking and have a significant amount of tools in my shop.

Finally I sail. By far the most expensive hobby. Simply keeping my boat in a marina costs me a couple grand a year, plus it cost $5k just to get into the marina.

I call it a profession... Quit my day job and I am writing and producing videos full time now. I shoot about once a week and spend quite a few hours in he lab editing video. Probably shoot 3-4k round a month.

Was going to get into shooting some PRC matches this year, but not looking like that is going to happen.

I'm more of a firearms enthusiast than a shooter, but only because I have neither the time nor the proper location to do the kind of shooting I'd like to. Firearms are definitely my primary hobby, and the amount of time I spend on gun-related activities dwarfs just about everything else, including sleeping. I'm hooked. :hook1:

Says the guy with an ar that won't function

Fortunate for him... he has others to shoot.

I hate when things don't work.
I remember shooting someone's $2500 AR (and that's not with optics)... tried to put a steel cased round and it basically wouldn't even feed halfway.

He didn't like me much but it shows how tight his chamber was.

I also enjoy photography and travel. Now that things are more or less organized after our move here about a year ago, I hope to get more shooting done.
The wife and I spend a lot of time exploring the local area. We like to ride bikes when the weather is nice and have ridden on the Burke-Gilman trail between Bothell-Kenmore-Redmond a few times. That is a really great place to ride bikes. Good exercise too.

Between gaming, shooting and family.... well I'm starting to wonder how to shave time off work. :bigsmile:

If only I could combine those things but sadly a four year old is a bit young and the wife doesn't much like hitting the range.
