    Some of my hobbies and skills bleed into one another, but here is a bit about me...

    I'm a professionally trained make up artist, including prosthetics and special FX.

    I can cook a mean dish.

    I have been told that I have an eye for interior design and I really enjoy it.

    I enjoy building things, I hope to start a new project one day in the near future. I've built a harvest table, a bench and a coffee table with old barn wood, built it the old fashioned way, not one nail or screw was used :)

    I read Tarot cards for fun.

    I enjoy the study of Physics, Metaphysics, Biology and Space.

    I'm a vocalist/lyricist, mostly Hard Rock but I've written and recorded Trip Hop as well as R and B style songs.

    Although it's been a while, Im pretty sure I can still tear it up on the basketball court ;)

    My hobby is competitive shooting. USPSA (pistol), 3 Gun (pistol, rifle, shotgun) and precision rifle (shooting long distance, most matches are out to 1200 yards).

    I love dancing in Pow Wows, this is me in my regalia, this is the type of dance you would find at any North American pow wow, I dance northern traditional men’s. Along with the dancing I love making the various parts of all the regalia, from working with the feathers and adding more and more “stuff” to my outfit. 😊😊

    I'd consider myself a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to various hobbies and skills. But, one of my passions is archery.

    I make these

    To shoot various types of these

    At many different types of these:

    When I was in the Marines we would shoot up to 500 yds on the range with our M16. I loved it. I never did any really long range shooting but I always found the stories about Carlos Hathcock amazing. Big props to you.

    Awesome! Looks like a good mix of long range, three gun, and other types of shooting.

    Yep. 3 Gun, PRS, and USPSA. Do you shoot? I see you are into archery. That's awesome!

    It is a lot of fun. You should go try it! There are some that shoot .223 for the long range game. Most shoot 6mm or 6.5mm but some do .308 or .223 to get started.

    I'm much more of a recreational shooter than anything. Mostly skeet/trap and paper targets. Some hunting. Really should get to the range more than I do.

    But, I enjoy archery much more than I do firearms. Do you shoot archery at all?

    Agree with you about meeting some of the best people have known through the sport (for both archery and firearms).

    No, I've never tried archery. I think it would be fun!

    I think you'd do quite well with it given your other hobby. Different style of shooting. Best part is you don't have to spend all the time cleaning up afterwards. Not to mention the ammo is reusable. ;)

    Always looking for people to go to the range with, and enjoy introducing people to archery. Open invite if we're ever in the same area.

    My hobby is coonhounds. I love the coonhound breeds. I have 2 coonhounds (a walker and a bluetick) and a Lab Mix. I rescued them all. I also enjoy painting and reading books - yes, I am a nerd. And I like to write. And I enjoy wildlife.

    Skills: I love to cook, and am quite good at it. I understand military technology, especially how it relates to dealing with other countries defense needs (I used to do this for a living). I was also very good at managing people. Interpersonal relations in the work enviroment has been a passionate interest of mine.

    Awesome! I'm getting into it myself...just shooting in my back yard with like this so called hybrid bow. Like a longbow but it's a recurve but just barely. Awesome sport!

    It's definitely a lot of fun, and I use it to plan trips and travel across the US shooting at different events and tournaments. Good luck with it!
