    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

    Met a hare at the bottom of my driveway on the way back from the run off. He scarpered bloody quick up the track around the bend an over the hill. I was in hot pursuit on the quad and loading rifle at the same time get around the bend and see it had a 50 metre lead on me aimed a little high and dropped him on the run while quad was still cruising. Shot went up his ass,that stopped him
