    Two fat as mummy bunnies with 5kittens each inside and 4 new fluff-ball babies all bit the dust on Friday evening.

    Well done.
    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

    Shot a goat with the ol 303 today. 180gr bullet didn't do as good a job at killing as I'd hoped, just sailed straight through.
    Should have used my 223.

    Mate missed the one he aimed at though. Will have to cook it up soon.

    Could have, but it was the 300wm and not the target species.

    Excellent photo. Someone has been messing with your rifle though Shearer. The bugger has put the bolt on the wrong side. Better watch that doesn't confuse you. Ha ha ha ha

    Lets say it's quite lively and needs a firm hand. The limb saver helps too. Took two reds at 300m yesterday morning and it takes no prisoners.

    We had just set off and this fella ran out in front of me, ran 150yds and then ducked down in a hollow. I was in the truck on my own at the time so I had to jump in the passenger seat load the rifle and while holding the lamp shoot him out of the window. He was bobbing around a bit trying to make out if I was friend or foe and couldn't get a clear chest shot so popped one in his neck, he didn't even twitch.

    Nice shooting. Predators are something we don't hunt over here, except if you count the odd feral cat. Nice set of teeth.
