Besides shooting I enjoy... computers. And books.
Wow....I thought I'd see more fellow paintballers here.....I've been doing that for about 7 years now....
I'm into anything outdoors....fishing, hiking, camping.
A few of us ride the C and O Canal every year....we take about four days and bike, fish and camp along 190 miles of the Potomac river......

Pretty much everything for me, but I try to limit it to biology, particle physics, reading everything I can get my hands on, nuclear medicine, the human genome project and genetic disease research projects. I used to be involved with fast cars, faster women, and slow fermentation, but I got old awhile back and slowed down.
I also used to shoot High Power and Service Rifle, but I got divorced and decided I didn't have a reason to leave home so much anymore.
I'm becoming a begrudging, reluctant activist for a couple of medical causes and orphan diseases.
I try to get to the Texas coast more regularly for bay fishing, and I fly kites when I get a good steady wind and a clear spot of sky.
I've still got an old VW Westfalia stashed around here somewhere.
I think I'll get back into doing architectural glasswork and stained glass one of these days when I get that shop built. I may decide to retire sometime.
Regards,
Rabbit.

Ahh, the blue 'jewel' threw me for a loop.

ya, all of the shockers came with a blue jewel sticker, but the lettering on them was different...they were either a 4x4, S/F or TURBO.
I used to have a very lucrative Shocker performance business....out of my garage...i could do some magic things with those guns. Nothing better than trigger pulls under an ounce.

Alas, this used to me one of my favorite hobbies. I started in the 80s and was absolutely enthralled with my favorite characters... I quit when there were so many 'cross-over' issues and you had to buy so many titles just to follow your favorite characters- and then the prices got really stupid. The quality of artwork pulled me back in twice ! in the 90s- but the quality of the writing/storytelling just wasn't there anymore...
Some of my other hobbies (too many !!!):
Hiking/camping/backpacking
snowboarding (a favorite, but don't get to go too much anymore)
Mt. biking
kayaking
Knives !- I love to collect all types- especially stag handled knives
Hanging out with my dog- who is very old and needs special care at the moment
And probably my favorite and most consuming- VINYL albums! I have not played a CD in probably 2 years. I mainly like late 60s/70s rock, progressive, folk etc... and I just invested in a high end Pro-ject turntable that is amazing. Never let anyone tell you that the digitally coded 1s and 0s of a CD can come anywhere near the DEPTH and warmth of good music being played from vinyl on a QUALITY turntable !!!!!!!
the hobby I would like to get into: scuba diving
My hobbies in a nutshell:
I used to build and race these...
That's me in the front
Then I had one of these...
So then I got a telescope and a camera (actually several telescopes and cameras) and started taking pictures like these...
Now I spend all me time doing, reloading, and practicing for stuff like this...
But I always have time to look for these...
The End!

Wow, it is cool to hear about board members other hobbies and interests. You guys talents and hobbies amaze me. A fine crew we have here. You all make me look very boring.
Aside from guns, I enjoy tinkering in the garage. No matter what the project. I have two beautiful daughters and another on the way. They take up most of my spare time.
Other things I do:
-Camping
-Hunting (training a bird dog now)
-Guitar (not very good at this)
-Computers
-Jimmy Buffett concerts
-Nascar Races (wow, I just realized I'm probably a redneck. I don't have a mullet though lol.)
Things I hope to do:
-restore a 1967 1968 or 1969 Camaro
-learn reloading

Fishing
my main hobby is fishing. shooting is a distant second but this forum has increased my knowledge and appreciation of shooting four fold over what I learned on my own/from dad..
I do mostly saltwater boating for striped bass, blues, cod, flounder, fluke out of Boston Harbor and surfcast at night from RI to ME, but occadionally go back to the sweetwater for large and smallmouth when the tides are bad. Gonna try offshore tuna and shark this year now that I have 4 years experience on the water
Just split one of these little beatuies last year with my father:
http://www.seaswirl.com/Boats/Boats_Detail.asp?bid=108
it's a vast improvement over my last boat. Hope to work in some hunting one of these days too but if buying hunting gear is as addictive as buying fishing gear and guns the wife ain't gonna be happy

*giggle* Hi! My name is Chris and my turn-ons are sunsets and pssssst Chris! Wrong interview... Wha? Oh.
Well in-between trying to become an independent business man by raising minks in my bathtub for fun and profit, and my plans for world dominance via my army of flying monkeys most of my time is taken up by work (hardware manufacture and sales for the wireless industry- mainly antennas and multiplex equipment).
I cook.
The wife and I ride the motorcycle (Aprilia Pegaso 650) around the city.
Go to concerts.
Attend counter-cultural events that require the wearing of fancy costumes (usually leather or latex) and make fun of all the 'squares'.

cooking
Home brewing
wine making
gardening
canning my home grown vegetables
sausage making
meat smoking

No wonder I don't have any time to shoot anymore.
