"My hobbies are Firearms and _________"

[boredelmo]

I've seen a general connection between the hobby of firearms and many other hobbies.

So far I'd think many of you are also into:

-Martial arts
-Cars
-Motorcycles
-Guitars
-Cigars/tobacco


Do you fit any of those molds?

Also can you think of another "If he likes _____ he probably has a reasonable interest in firearms."

 

[Apple a Day]

Woodworking and gardening. Not sure I see the connection except maybe working with my hands.

 

[jefnvk]

Just got into motorcycles. Other motorsports include three-wheelers, off-road trucks, and vintage snowmobiles. Hockey is a huge hobby, XC skiing and snowshoeing too. Growing fond of cigars as a hobby, and definitely partying

Music

Home/Car Audio (Huge Audiophile & Audio hardware nerd)

Photography, drawing, and painting

Hookah smoking (I even run a little hookah website, I might as well shamelessly promote it: www.thehookahguy.net)

Building things (ties into the hookahs, I make my own)

 

[yesit'sloaded]

I'll admit to cars and guitars.

 

[MaterDei]

Singing Gregorian Chant. Probably not a common 'other' hobby on THR.

Knives and flashlight collecting are usually big with gun people. I like my Surefires but I'm not crazy about the hobby.

 

[General Geoff]

Cars and computers are my other mistresses

 

[Sniper4Life]

Hmmm....

Weight-lifting... all kinds... strength training, power lifting... bodybuilding...

Maybe thats why my lightest gun, a .22 weighs 11pounds, and i hunt with a 16pound .308.... all my freinds think i am nuts.... cant figure out why tho...

 

[Regolith]

Other than firearms, my hobbies are computers and amateur astronomy. I also like camping and hunting.


I would say camping and hunting are most likely to be connected to owning firearms as a separate hobby. Most gunnies I know do one or the other, although not necessarily all of them.

Big car nut here. Chevy is my preferred poison.

Dope

 

[Silvanus]

Weight-lifting, collecting knives, hiking & camping, reading and (I'm really surprised nobody mentioned that yet) drinking (mostly beer and wine, no hard stuff for me).

[cnorman18]

My hobbies come and go and come back again...

Currently into pocketknives and medieval weapons. Waiting in the wings for an opportunity to come back: building ships in bottles, figure-carving leather, and collecting Uncle Scrooge comic books from the 60s.

 

[markallen]

Cars, electronics, computers, home improvements, basically "hands on" building and fixing stuff.

 

[macruadhi]

Sewing
Chain mail

anything "neat"

 

[XD-40 Shooter]

Jeep's, four wheeling, hiking, camping, and GUNS!.

 

[ReadyontheRight]

Hunting, skiing, hiking, boating - balanced by too much staring at computer screens.

My collecting leans toward guns and outboard motors. I think it has something to do with fond smells from my youth. (Ahhhh, I love the smell of a Johnson Seahorse starting up in the morning)

Want to be into cars and guitars, but no time.

 

[SoCalShooter]

Well my old hobby used to be computers/video games but now I just have guns...cause well I spend enough on it. And I go to work 50+ hours a week and school several hours a week so.. yeah I just stick to guns. Lately a lot of people have been telling me that I have been spending to much time or money on guns. i tell them its my hobby and I collect them...if you cant understand that then I cnanot explain it any better.


Oh and I enjoy hunting.

Camping, collecting knives, collecting flashlights, playing basketball, watching football, and lifting weights...12 ounces at a time.

I enjoy hiking/camping, reading(mostly fiction), college football, movies and video games(I can't seem to grow out of that one)
