kjIt takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
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

I've got three pair in three diferent horse paddocks. I've blitzed a dozen or so with the 223 in the past couple of years, but others take their place. They're quite smart, they will pretend to have a bung wing and walk away from the nest to try and decoy you away from the eggs or chicks.
10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

Nail one and its mate flies off a distance and you plug that. The 17 HMR is very good on them.

awesome something else to shoot other than magpies, rabbits, hares and possums. I have only ever shot one as i thought they were ............ 'you know' ...
I left it in the paddock and a hawk had it for lunch.. thus ensuring it wasn't a total waste and no evidence...
