    Hey guys,
    I popped down to Taupo for a shoot with my cousin. I really like Taupo, might be on the short list for moving when I'm ready to get far away from Auckland!

    Not a bad pile of rabbits we got together huh? Not even an hours work.



    The dog thought it was Christmas when we got back to my cousins place.

    I went out last night too and bowled over a few hares and bunnies. I love my little HMR.

    Only stopped to take a couple photos. We got about a dozen that night. We spent ages chasing this one massive hare around and passed up a few more shots on others to try to get to it. At the end I was forced to take a 220m shot with the HMR and I over-compensated for drop and he got away. Probably just as well. It runs out of punch once you get up close to 200m.

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Couple maggies that were dumb enough to land where I set up one of Neckshots plates.
    Testing out one of Abe's light weight supps for my .223 barrel.
    Must be quiet enough as I shot both magpie's simultaneously with in 10 yards of each other.
    Awesome bit of kit @ 211 grams. Thanks Abe.

    Lol. Both were blown in half. Not sure if they are matched properly either.

    Good effort Scottrods.
    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
