Do you write it down somewhere that the firing zone is safe before each and evey shot?

Yep premiers are bloody fantastic... Z5s are ok but have a good look at them 1st.. The elevation turret may put you off but the glass is comparable on both.... I think for the $$ the premier hunter has it over the z5.. But thats just me....

Lord knows a bank could have been injured.......

Idd say on behalf of the ill informed - it did seem that there could have been some lose rounds going down range to me ,but now youv'e explained that bank system its cleared things up algud ,cause to tell you the truth i was convinced that at lest a some of those rounds left while the barrel was at around 45 Degree angle up ,and at ,4.22 the video show's the range which dont look much ova 10 deg to the top of the wind row ,so on that i myself even thought a round or two was lobbed in to the bush behind lol Any wayz gotta be said i enjoyed the vid .

The sound wasn't syncing very well with the video when I watched it, and because of the delay, it sounded like you were firing into the air/straight outward. If you watch for the muzzle blast though, it's pretty obvious you were shooting in a safe direction.

The only thing that is obvious is that the majority of the shots were released without even looking in to the target area. The moment you do not check you firing zone before firing it stops being a safe direction, bottom line.

Your concern for saftey is commendable Shooter but you are being a bit pedantic about it. You have had your say. I know where he was and he has to drive ages to get there when he has plenty of other closer options. I wouldnt try to make judgments about someone's actions from a 2 minute video that didnt have the whole scene either.

Bob - you're a madbugger. I wouldn't want to put my rifle through that.
Might have been better to put the hot part into some oil though to cool it. You could have had a feed of chups and kept the grain structure in the barrel.

Fair play to you.

Your not getting the point, and it shows that even the most avid shooter can potentially cause a misplaced hunter,tramper,tourist, innocent bystander to become collateral when they end up in the wrong place when you release a shot without checking "your firing zone".

It is disappointing the view point of many shooters out there that find these sort of actions acceptable. By all means have a good time but FFS check before you release that shot!
