zoid 24 Posted October 9, 2011 I'm pretty new to guns/shooting, but I'm certifiably addicted that is for sure. I'm been lurking this forum for some time now actually. Mainly to find out what local competitions are going on in the area. Before I got my FID (which was about a year ago)I got all the details on how to do it here on this Forum. I'm a member at ShoreShot down in Lakewood. I've done a few matches here and there (Steel at Central, USPSA/IPSC at Old Bridge). Sometimes I do the Monday night shoot at Shoreshot. If you're wondering bout the screen name I'm normally knifezoid on other forums as I am into knives as well and that somehow lead to guns. I need cheaper hobbies. Maybe knitting or something. Yarn is cheap right? - Lawrence Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 264 Posted October 9, 2011 Welcome! Ask Maks about the yarn. I don't think that will be cheap either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted October 9, 2011 Welcome! Ask Maks about the yarn. I don't think that will be cheap either. Yarn, haha. There is yarn far more expensive than the stuff they sell at Michaels. I've seen Anastasia bring home some expensive yarn. Apparently they go up to $100 a skane (roll (our measuring unit equivalent would be a box of ammo)). Any hobby that you are committed too, will be a burden on your wallet. Welcome to the forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn, my dreams of saving for my retirement RUINED! I don't own a boat or race car, but I do have a motorcycle. Also not a cheap interest. Waterguns?

NicePants 58 Posted October 18, 2011 Hey man, welcome. Don't get into playing guitar either. After a certain point it becomes ungodly expensive for top quality gear, and of course I had to just love guitars and guns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
