    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

    Managed to find time to get out to a friends farm today, didn't start off as planned, had a quick yarn and then went to sort the gear out. Put the bolt in the rifle, shit that's a big hole, had the .308 and the .22 bolt. Back in to town to get the .22, an hour wasted but a good day in the end. Only two shot, one bunny at 126 yards and a hare jumped out of the grass right in front as we were finishing our walk.

    And here is mine. It was gently grazing a bit behind my target. I had just finished sighting in the 17 hornet with supressor.

    Only 1 rabbit for me this afternoon, but 4 plovers, the most satisfying "puff" of feathers ever.

    rossi.45. You are making me think that I need to find another place to shoot rabbits / hares / magpies that allows shooting with a centrefire. Looks like that would make fantastic practice for larger game.
