TitusCarnathan Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) This kind of question comes up every once in awhile, but new people come in and others hobbies change. So I'm curious other than the madness we do that's called computerized lighting. What other Hobbies are you involved in? For me it would be Ham Radio, which has sparked an additional interest in building/repairing electronic circuits.

Kapkirk Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 For me it is long range shooting, FCSA (fifty caliber shooters association) 1000 yard shooting was my passion, a great friend of mine and I used to put match's on and compete. It's been a couple years now cause there is only so much money and at $7 a round it started competing with the xmas lights LOL. Still have all my equipment and plan to shoot again, but ranges around here don't like the fifty cause of the noise and reputation. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilMassey Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Nice. Kappa 9's here. Bought them in 1988 I think. Refoamed them myself in 2007. Shame Infinity is just a " name brand" now. They used to make real speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Now that’s something I want to do too but money talks and bs walks...lol. Largest I have are .375H&H and .378WM.

I’d love a 50BMG but not enough funds to go around ☹️ And just like a boat, the initial purchase was actually the cheapest part, hey its also just like this one too, one controller is always followed by another and one decoration is followed by another. I just now figured why the wife wants me to go back to shooting, maybe cheaper is what she hopes LOL. And the feeling you get when you put a 750 grain bullet on target at 1000 yards is great, we all call it the 50 BMG grin, the first shot from a fifty for a new 50 shooter, their usually hooked by the one shot. And again like this addiction, the grin when the kids see your display whether the first or last time is also priceless. I'm beginning to see a pattern here.

k6ccc Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 My primary other hobby is ham radio. I also do some casual target shooting. Biggest gun is a .444 Marlin, but my pride and joy is a Remington XP-100 bolt action pistol. And I still have and like my Infinity Reference Studio Monitors.

I can't say that I have done it all, but I sure have done a lot with ham radio. Parlayed that into a career - running a large regional trunked radio system. I have copied traffic from the ISS, but not this time. I have several thousand logged satellite contacts and was even published related to doing so: https://archive.org/details/73-magazine-2000-10/page/n37 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
