    I'll get in on the action. I like to bowl. I actually bowled in a league for several years until I started back to college. I had to drop it then. I held a 180-190 average in leagues. I'll probably pick it back up when I graduate.

    I used to be really big into airsoft (for those unfamiliar, its a sport like paintball but the guns look more realistic and fire plastic bbs at speeds upwards of 400 fps). I don't mean like cheap spring powered guns from the local sporting goods store- I'm talking about gas propelled guns running upwards of $300. I played in an arena with a lot of Ex- military men and such. I was big into it (had a lot of cheap military gear etc.), but not so much any more. I'm actually thinking about selling all my stuff for some extra cash because hunting has become my main priority (behind school :rant:)

    I consider myself a bird watcher. Technically I've never went in the woods specifically to "bird watch" but with countless hours I spend in them hunting, fishing, hiking, camping etc, that leaves me a lot of time to look for and identify birds. When I was a kid I had Roger Tory Peterson's Field guide to birds memorized. I literally wore that book out.

    I can relate to this. I used to be real good at bowling and loved it. Then a job and a family got in the way and it dropped on the priority scale.

    I'm a member of a mostly LA craft beer/homebrew forum. I trade a lot with these guys, mostly with shipments, but occasionally I have met them places.

    We just trade beers that are hard to acquire or the other has never had.

    Posting on here is by far the nerdiest thing I do.

    Other than that I'm either doing something related to Pharmacy, Hunting, or drinking/partying with friends.

    My biggest hobby is Not Shooting Bucks...

    I used to be pretty hardcore into martial arts.

    I could add fixing up my Jeep, but I haven't touched her in 2.5 years!

    Ive made some knives over the years using deer antlers. Although they sucked pretty bad they were sturdy. I sent them to some of my buddies on here. I actually really enjoy making knives.

    Its the honor system there as well. Most people are pretty good about it but every once in a while there is a kid who wont call his hits. In that case you put a few extra (a lot) more rounds into him:)
