This was a cool thread Fermis had started on the previous forum.

So post your other hobbies or what you like to do for fun here!

I'm also into HO model railroading. Right now, my newest layout is still in the planning stage until I get most of the garage re-model done. Hopefully I'll be able to start on the benchwork in another month or so.

I love to research history, and after stuffing my brain with WWII, the Crimean War and Ancient Rome this past year, I've started shoving WWI stuff in there as well. Hopefully it doesn't explode!

I also read, spend time with my 3 grandsons and take trips to the beach with my wife.

Not much other hobbies really. Listening to music and watching Nascar when I'm not working.

I have three kids aged 6 and younger. I consider myself lucky I'm holding on to a hobby, much less multiples.

That said, I've got a decently nice hardtail Trek I like to take mountain biking when I get the chance. Sadly, this happens only rarely.

Here is my "other" hobby, currently in the process of putting together an AR15:

You are allowed to have these at home? And so does your neighbour? And the neighbour´s neighbour? All down the street?

Here in Germany we have a very strict law on weapons in private persons hands, but nonetheless we had some terrible shootings the last years. Don´t get me wrong: I love to shoot! But, in my personal opinion deadly weapons as these don´t belong in private people´s hands. Have them on a shooting range, and leave them there. Securely locked away! I also see that having guns has a very different background in our two countries history.

You have to have a Class 3 license to have an automatic weapon in the states. The rifle I am building is semi automatic so it shoots like a pistol. The rifle and other pistols stay locked up except for the pistol in the picture which is legal to carry almost everywhere (minus federal buildings and schools) you go.

In my state its legal to have and pretty much most people here have these and shotguns for home defense. If someone breaks into your house you have the right to stop them dead. But it all comes down to being responsible which a majority of people here in my state are.

My other hobbies include gaming, art, 3d design, movies. I have a very visual mind, so anything that stimulates me visually interests me.
I also enjoy archery. Ive been hunting (rifles, not archery) and while i enjoy the fruits of the labour (mmm bunny) i prefer target shooting with a bow. I like things to be quiet.

@ Kevin:
It´s a kind of action vs. re-action: if a housebreaker guesses you could be armed because you are allowed to own a weapon he possibly also would have some weapon with him to counter you. But this is a discussion that we never would end, so hopefully you never will need them.
On the other hand if ever I manage to come over I wouldn´t say "No" to fire some rounds with your weapons on a safe range.

@ Scorpio:
I like you comment on things to be quiet! Archery could be a nice "tool" to reconsider your self, to concentrate yourself. Sounds good!

Thats pretty much how it is, have it just in case but hope you dont have to use it that way. I prefer to use them at a range to have fun with them.
