I for one am not in the habbit of letting people point guns at me and shoot me. I guess after 8 years of military it is just a thing. I don't do it and will nto allow my kids to do it either.

I can only afford one semi-expensive hobby right now, but I have a passion for music and love seeing it live when I can. Went to see Texas/Oklahoma red-dirt country band Cross Canadian Ragweed Friday night (into Saturday morning, of course) at a little club about an hour from here. Thick smoke, cold Shiner Bock beer, good times. I was about 10 feet from Cody Canada and the boys. Small venues like that rawk. 
I can deal with the arenas & stadiums when seeing someone like George Strait, but what I wouldn't give to see him in a place like Gruene Hall, singing Bob Wills & Merle Haggard songs all night long, with maybe an encore featuring Webb Pierce's "There Stands the Glass."
My brother from another mother has an affinity for cigars and I smoke when him whenever we get together. Don't remember what kind the last one was, but it was good. As for wine, unless I am feeling like death, you'll usually find me drinking pinot noir or merlot with my stepdad on Sunday afternoons as golf or football is on the tube.

Where to start?....Woodworking, metal fab, hunting, photography, and like many an interest in cars....so much so that it has become a hobby to finance the gun hobby. Most of the restorations are Corvettes but do include a few exotics and street rods.

I play. I use to play competitively, now I just play for fun. My wife plays when it's cool enough and my daughter really wants to play, but she's not old yet enough.
For me, paintball is not at all like firearms/combat training. Tournament style paintball, the only kind I play with any regularity, is a game, plain and simple. The only rush I get from playing is the same thrill I get from any sport. It's not MOUT training or anything similar.
I'm not saying there aren't some commonalities. People both bring and take all sorts of different experiences to/from activities.
Other hobbies: reading, writing, hiking, fishing (catch and release - not into seafood), bicycling with my kidlet, working out. Previously, martial arts, fencing, kendo, and western combative, but that stuff was all a long time ago.

1. Reading history and fiction
2. hunting
3. fishing
4. ARCHERY (I cant believe in 103 posts on this thread, no archery)
It is shooting the same bullet over and over without
having to reload it.

I've seen a general connection between the hobby of firearms and many other hobbies.
First off, my firearms are not hobbies. They are tools for me to ensure my family survives. I do shoot my flintlock for fun, but then its a calss C firework according to the feds.
So far I'd think many of you are also into:
-Martial arts
Once again, my swords are not a hobby, they are close in defense tools
-Cars
Tho I dirve a 1972 Dodge Dart, its what I prefer to drive, rather than a rice grinder. I dont enter it in shows, Its just what I drive daily
-Motorcycles
Sold mine this year, getting to old to scrape myself off the ground due to the growing number of idiot car drivers out there.
-Guitars
Cant play nor sing, can listen tho, what I listen to is considered classic, like me
-Cigars/tobacco
In order to stay alive and be fit for what we face in the future, I do not endulge any more.

I have a few interests, but some have been put on the back burner.
Currently...
Whitewater kayaking/rafting
Fishing
Motorcycles
Camping
Theme parks
Previously...
Hiking
Mountain biking
Car road trips (back is getting worse)
Paintball (too angry)
So I can't say firearms are everything.

Drum and Bugle Corps. I used to march when I was young enough, now I just teach high school music, marching band, and indoor percussion.
I doubt anyone one here even knows what Drum Corps is though.
I am also into cigars, and martial arts. Not so much cars, though I want to get a motorcycle next summer.

When I have a space to do so I tan hides into leather. I was taught that waste is an evil and leaving a deerskin to rot away seems like a waste. I also craft leather, my best work is a belt and holster I made for my Dad's "09" S&W revolver. The belt made from de-grained belly skin and the holster from the back skin of an ancient buck a city people shot for a trophy.

-Martial arts ---Uh, no.
-Cars -- Definitely. I used to be a street racing Chevy snob, but I did get nervous about the Mopar that pulled up beside me at the traffic light.
-Motorcycles -- No.
-Guitars -- No.
-Cigars/tobacco -- Yes, I have Dunhill Montecruz tastes on a Hav-A-Tampa budget.

Yeah, but you still get to shoot stuff and there is also a ton of stuff you can talk about, kinda like guns.
I play both speedball and woodsball, BTW.

I have a Motorcycle but I would not call it one of my hobbies.
Just a toy I have.
Training/working out (got back into recently),
Woodworking,
Playing Chess,
Collecting scotch,
I have a huge interest in the medical field.
Those are the only ones pursued regularly enough to be called a hobby at this point.

Well, aside from all the things that go with firearms like shooting and hunting, etc...
I love sports. I love to play softball, basketball, and even some football. Love to watch college football, some pro football (Fantasy Football is fun), and basketball.
I love video games, playing XBOX live (Halo 2).
I enjoy the outdoors.
Love to spend time with my family. My wife, children, and other extended family members.
I love investing, spending, and making money.
