Well .. shooting is effectively ''numero uno'' and I guess reloading is all part of the whole .... should have added a pic of that in the montage below!

Other stuff tho centers around biking (VTX1300C4) - wish it was good enough weather to get out, right now! .... and R/C airplanes (not up to ChiefPilot's size!) .... but flight is fascinating and even from on the ground ... I enjoy complex aerobatics.

Music is my other hobby. I play in an "oldies" Rock & Roll band, and sing in the Church Choir. Occasionally do men's quartets.

Bet ya never would've guessed.

I shoot golf a few times a week. I thought hobbies were suppost to be relaxing

Have a 2003 Herritage (Harley-Davidson) and a 69 FLH (also a Harley). I hand load and have a driving net in the back yard. Hit about 200 golf balls a day.

Just so's ya know ... I am only one year younger than your Dad! Not so sure how ''young'' I look but my son reckons I ain't too bad!

''Internally'' tho .... an 18 yr old is still strugglin to get out!! Maybe shooting keeps me young too.

Hey Skunkabilly, is that a kentucky mandolin you got there? I play acoustic guitar (started off classical fingerpicking and such), but have developed a strong love for bluegrass, and folk music and mandolins (much in part thanks to seeing Chris Thile live 4 times... hes just mind boggling)... but anyways, I've started learning mandolin in the past few weeks, and am in the market for a new one (because the one I'm playing right now is an old a-style in pretty rough shape). SO just curious if you had any recommendations on a decent f-style for relatively inexpensive ($350 or $400 maybe), and any pointers on picking up some bluegrass techniques and whatnot. basically any info you wanna provide would be appreciated. thanks!

TennTucker,

I thought I was the only golfer on this board. I live on the No. 1 fairway of a local course, so I guess a 3rd hobby would be collecting those slice shots in my back yard.

Shooting
Guitaring (LP and Tele)
Powerlifting
MTB (some trialsin ...yes you can trackstand and hop with MTB's)

I'm pretty good at asteroids...

seasonal golfer

 

[71Commander]

seasonal golfer

Whats that ?

I have 14" of snow on the ground. I use this for practice. If you swing an iron through the snow, you can see if you are swinging square to your body. Also, I hit those little wiffle golf ball out of the snow. It's great practice for sand shots.

Been playing drums for 35 years also. If I don't shoot it. I beat it Reduces tension.
