Thread: Safety, shotgun and small lifestyle blocks

Consider the cost per shot. It’s waaaay cheaper with your .22 once you’ve got your rifle set up

Consider the effective range and your target. Yes if moving and within the range of your shottie, then it’s justified, but if these are sitting shots and you’re able to rest the rifle well...... .22 will offer some exciting and challenging opportunities.

Definitely talk to all neighbours. Even get their text number so you can send them a quick text message in the evening before each shoot. It’s your record of your due diligence.

Check in with neighbours and offer a nice head shot rabbit occasionally. Develop the relationships. They will talk to other farmers and that may bring other hunting opportunities!

Be safety conscious. Wear blaze, even a removable sign at gate “pest control shooting occurring - no entry” etc.

Enjoy yourself!
