    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    This brings back memories of hunting possums with my younger brother when we were little.

    He would also sometimes miss the close ones too.

    Dad made a rule if you missed, then the other one got the rifle (single shot stevens .22) until he missed then it was handed back.

    It wasn't long before there was tears from one or other of us because we would make sure we wouldn't miss.

    Cheers
    Pete

    Well done !

    I have never shot a possum before but I have killed one, I was exiting off the north western motorway at 2am westbound and hello there was one walking across lane 1, I first started slowing down, then figured ahhh its a pest so sped up and thud under the front end if my car....it was turned into road carpet, one day I will get out somewhere that has possums to shoot.

    Survy did he stand up and say "Two Moons" as your headlights bore down on him?
