Pretty cool seeing what everyone does besides airguns.

My others are inshore flats fishing, boating, electric guitars, and making wood & epoxy stuff (river tables, boards, some epoxy art work).
Seems I've always got a house remodeling project in the works too.

What a thread. I'm impressed with the gusto you guys live your lives. My list is short. I use to be an archer, long bows and recurves but shoulder issues have put that on hold. Fresh and saltwater fishing, amateur astronomy and of course air gunning.

There are a lot of very busy people on these forums! Some very cool hobbies.

I do traditional archery (until the shoulder complains), trap, sporting clays, pistol plate shooting, worm drowning, burning food and I have been eye balling 10 meter pistol because Michigan winters.

Well I have a Ben Pearson BP-H90 (7388) 52# @ 28"
The bow is in mint condition. I have never shot it, the original owner probably never did either. There is an interesting story about this bow. If you're interested it is yours for the shipping.

WARNING! Once you get into traditional archery, there is a high probability that your compounds get relegated to the closet.

Or you're like me and you go from compound to longbow, realize you got into archery to relieve frustration and not create it, then go back to the compound.
