What did you do before Guns?

[MalleeFarmer]

Me I loved Dirt Bike riding and still do but less so than rifles at the moment.

[AusTac]

For me it was archery, got good at that, had all the gear but go bored so sold it for my first .22 and went from there, now its about a 50/50 split to firearms/4wding

[No1Mk3]

Suffer

[Heckler303]

Suffer

Bhwhahahaha



I was really into airfix models and airfix kits, to be honest I still am, but after a $130 dollar airbrush having it's parts break within 4 months I sort of took a pause from it. I made some really nice stuff while I did do it though.


I also wrote (and still write) fanfiction and other literature in my spare time.

Played with toy guns

[knowsnothin]

misspent youth.

one day i grew up and decided to buy guns

[Oldbloke]

Mixed bag, fishing and collecting minerals, sex, then hunting, more or less in that order.

[Title_II]

There really wasn't a before guns. I started at 4. I guess I didn't shoot firearms very often between then and about 11, so maybe air guns are the answer.CO2 pistols and BB/pellet rifles pretty much every day. Around 11 I got my own guns that I kept in my bedroom and it's no surprise that we went shooting a lot more. Although I was still not allowed to take real guns out of the house without parental permission or if there were trespassers when my parents weren't home. I could take real guns to my friend at my neighbor's house, stuff like that. But not take them out to shoot. Just air guns.

Once I got about 15 or so I started taking guns to school and going out shooting with people old enough to drive after school. Or in the sand pits in the middle of the night like a bunch of retarded teenage commandos

Road bikes was my thing. Going too fast on the road and treating it like a race track. I woke up one day and said enough is enough. Sold the bikes, bought some guns, 4WD and camping gear. Never looked back.Wish I have of done it sooner. Did go hunting in the early days, never really took it up. all good now. Kids grown up $$$ to spend.

[wrenchman]

when i was in my late teens to my early 20s i would take time out from hunting each year to chase girls and race cars

[tom604]

Hahaha!!! funny I've taken it up more since being married too. I still ride dirt bikes I have a CRF450x with cams and pipes suspension work etc. but don't spend the money or time there anymore. Also have a 2010 lux with more money in off-road mods than all my guns and bike/parts put together.

[on_one_wheel]

Slingshot and traps

[Die Judicii]

You guys crack me up,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[zobster]

Fishing at every opportunity I get, doesn't matter if it was fly, spin, spear, bait or jig, if I get to catch fish, I'm there doing it! Now it's 10% fishing 90% shooting!

[southeast varmiter]

I think the question is going to be, what are you going to do after guns.

[MalleeFarmer]

Hopefully when I'm done with guns I'm pushing up Daisy's

[Gwion]

Same stuff as i do now... firearms are just added.

[Member-Deleted]

There was no before guns for me, at least not after I could walk and was big enough to use a pea rifle. I used to go hunting with my dad as a toddler.

[juststarting]

@bentaz why sarcasm, that's my retirement plan.

[Manimal]

Who knows.

Those dull memories have faded

[Shadd]

Hmm me I guess I did a little bit of plinking when I was little when my dad was notating I had a .22 short rifle. Got my first bunny at about 12 then I got into dirt bikes Tried archery for about a year or 2 now my bikes out of commission for awhile I thought I might get back to hunting

[Korkt]

Who knows.

At least you remember you had the memories.

I can barely remember where the cereal is some mornings.

[AnotherMisfire]

Poker down at the rissoles

My challenge is not putting the milk back in the pantry instead of the fridge

[pomemax]

Before Guns 48 years ago got my first for $6 was a .22 Goose gun single shot I wish i still had it lol used to be able to walk through Burwood with down mY jeans stock came of with one screw. and ammo i used to get in waltons for $1.25 a pack of 50

[CactusElite]

I raced Go Karts up until last month when I had to sell up the Kart and all my gear. It's hard to find the time now and remain competitive when you weigh an extra 20kg over your opponents (my metabolism caught up with me) and only running 30hp engines.

I still overindulge in Video Games. I have a full racing sim setup I have to re assemble once we finish painting the house.

[COLLECTOR 1]

I think I was born with the gun bug in my blood. My father was a firearms dealer in his day, and I remember shooting on my uncles property at about 6 or 7. Starting collecting in my early teens...(having a father that dealt in firearms has HHHHUUUUGGGGGEEEEE advantages.) I cant remember never having firearms.

Everything else in life came and went but the BLOODY GUNS are still here...(their like lollies),,,ahahhahahahahahahhahahahahah

Those dull memories have faded

Replaced by louder flashier ones

[juststarting]

Exactly the same thing I do now, only with a lot less money.

Of course, once the rifle arrived I noticed that my crack addiction was no longer a problem, I had no physical or physiological attachment to it, I suppose you could say guns cured me. Later I also noticed that my smoking addiction and leprosy was gone. I can only attribute this miracle to my rifles.
