Occupation, what do you do?
Just wondering what some of you guys (and gals) do to earn the $$$$ to pay for this not so cheap hobby that we have!!
I was a machinist by trade, courtesy of Uncle Sam. I picked up my trade in the Navy (Lifemember V.F.W. Post 7687), served my apprenticeship and worked for an Aerospace company for the last 25 years. Retired last February and enjoying life ever since.
My wife runs a lab for an analytical testing company doing materials testing and analysis.
We have 4 kid's, 3 girls and a boy who all par-take in shooting sports of one kind or another.
So, there's a little background on me.
Anyone else?

I studied to be an Engineer and worked at it for several years with a five interlude in the U.S. Navy Nuclear Power Program. Then we began working full time with an international Christian organization, The Navigators. We worked with service men & women in the Pentagon and Ft. Myer for five years.
Then moved to Canada to work with the Quebecois and the Acadians for 27 years. Three years ago we moved to Mansfield MA (in the Boston area).
Money to pay for our expensive hobby ... doing it my way, it is not all that expensive!
I bought my moose/deer carabine (Winchester Model 94AE in .356 calibre) in Quebec with peanut butter sandwiches and tomatoes out of the garden.
When we moved to this no-hunting-with-rifles state, I sold two older guns (that I was not using) in order to have the cash to buy my first muzzle loader (T/C Omega 50).
And last year I collected $345.00 worth of recycle bottles & cans to purchase my NEXT muzzle loader (a Hopkins & Allen Underhammer kit). What a fun hobby (shooting & hunting!) and great way to get to know people AND spend time along with the Lord in the woods!
We have four miracle kids (the Doctors said we'd never have any kids) and two grand daughters!0 -
