    Good on you Bill
    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

    Total of 187 roo's at the weekend. I got 37. Cambo taylor scored marginally higher.
    Longest range for the group 735m taken with a 7mm WSM. My 243 accounted for one at 425m and a headshot at 402m with factory ammo.
