    When I'm not working, I spend a fair amount of time at the range but not as much as I'd like. If I'm not there, I'm in the field hunting something! Besides my trusty 1911, this is my other baby.



    What are some your other hobbies?

    I've been flying r/c since 1993. Also have many, many years of r/c racing behind me. I love riding dirtbikes, woods mostly, and have dabbled with trials bikes.

    This is my T-Rex 450SE... very high performance electric helicopter that can be flown in an area about the size of a baseball diamond:

    Man oh man, have I been wanting to do that! My wife would absolutely kill me if I started another hobby, but flying r/c helis is so damned sweet!

    Modifying sports cars, most notably anything to do with turbochargers:

    That's a Nissan Skyline GTR 2.6l I6 turbo motor (modified with a large single turbo) I was attempting to swap into a Datsun Z car awhile back. Here's what I found out so far:

    (1) Modifying cars can get expensive as heck
    (2) Modifying cars can get expensive as heck
    (3) Modifying cars can......make it that much easier for me to screw it up!
    (4) I am doomed to never finish a project I start!

    After regretfully selling the modified 911 Turbo project I had, I am taking a break from the sports car scene so that both my pride and my wallet can take a rest. God I wish I could find an awesome hobby that was both fun and inexpensive! ;)

    When I'm not in some type of formal shooting school, or deployed to some **** hole, I am either in college here in Austin, or in Colorado building race cars. During the winter most of my time is spent hunting.

    Yes sir! Too bad I can't play half as good as Dimebag but I do what I can

    I got to hang out with the guys a few times and all of them and their road crew were a blast and nice as hell. Dime never changed from the first time I met him to the last time I saw him. Great guy, R.I.P.

    Well....Hmmm. Lesee here: (other than firearms related)
    Enjoy singing with a barbershop quartet group, have dabbled with R/C aircraft and helos, woodworking ('cept I can cut it twice and still be too short), computers, photography, very active in church, and not a hobby but very important (way above hobby), my grandkids - 4 of them.

    Yeah! Let's start a band. You guys play and I'll provide security. Believe me you wouldn't want me to play anything besides a radio. My hobbies besides shooting include reloading (a hobby in itself), photography (animals and travel pics), hunting (when I have a lease), and birding (birdwatching).

    Good shooting and be safe.
