what are yall's favorite sports? limit it to a top three. mine are martial arts (ufc,full contact and point matches) boxing and motorcross

BattleRifleG3 · 07-31-2004, 02:16 AM

As far as sporting value, independent of its place in our American Heritage and as practice to defend my home and country against foes foreign and domestic, I'd say 1. Canoeing, 2. Shooting, and 3. Hiking. Biking and 4x4ing are a very close 4th and 5th.

Of course I take shooting more seriously because it's more than a sport. Also, working on guns is an incredible learning experience. So far I've built one, converted another, and am in the midst of drastically converting a third.

Basketball

i left out shooting because i dont think of it as a sport, i was taught its more of a survival skill.

Shaun · 07-31-2004, 02:43 AM

1) Shooting - Yes its a survival skill but its also a fun sport to enjoy with the family
2) Hunting - Also Survival but one for a good work out if you really have to hike
3) Reloading - ever try to load 10,000 in a weekend its a workout even on the 650 dillon

Hmm, maybe it should have been specified that you have to PARTICIPATE.

They say football is millions of people who desperately need exercise watching a few people who desperately need rest.

I have an evenrude which is almost out of order.

Rufus Rhastus J · 08-02-2004, 07:25 AM

I like street racing, hunting/fishing and last, wrestling [TV]. Yeah, I know street racing is illegal and have nothing to race now. Yeah, the Tampa/St. Pete area has no fishing to speak of now but, it once was great...guess the third worlders runined that, like most everything else here. And, last, but, not least, wrestling, on TV. Yeah, i know it's all bull shizzit but, it's funny and they have got the good guy/bad guy stories down so well now...it's like a soap operah!

Ox, is that a long shaft or a short shaft motor?

Oxford · 08-02-2004, 09:22 AM

Jerry...I have a very short shaft and it seldom touches bottom.

It's practically unused.

On my Evinrude boat motor the shaft is long and old. Actually, it's a 1949 4 1/2 HP, duel ignition outboard fishing/trolling motor/with fuel tank built into the system, painted blue and silver. Haven't had it running for over fifteen years but I need to completely overhaul it and replace gaskets and try to find new condensor and points( If I can still find these parts).
