    Unlucky wallaby, it survived being shot at by Dads 223 T3, not an old 303 with iron sights though (and they have to be the worst irons I have ever used). Got a hare on the way home with the car to but that doesnt really count.

    She was still warm when I did it. Took no more than 15 or so minutes. No boiling water, just bare hands.
    It 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

    Back out to the mates farm again today, normally take my .223 to bowl them and average only one each time. Took my trusty Marlin 795 .22 and dropped 7 with subs in less than 30 seconds, could've hit more had I taken my second mag. Less noise makes a big difference. 7x the result with a gun 1/10th the price.

    I just nailed a nice young billy in thick cover from around 60 mtrs with my 22 mag.
    The goat was invisible to me, but the dog gave me her first solid indication that there was game present, so I acted accordingly. Hopefully she will now do the same with deer.
