    Perhaps therein lays the answer.

    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

    Well today I managed to shoot between me and my mate 20-30 geese and a goat, I was head shooting these bloody geese on the waddle at 80-100m, I was stoked as, all my shooting at paper has paid off. I wasn't going to shoot a goat but my mate had a crack and hit it in the guts and it sat there about 60-70m away and looked away, my shot went dead center between the ears in the back of the head. I also learnt that going down a 100m or so decent is easy on crutchs, its coming back up on the cunt of bloody things where you get stung in the ass. Boy was I stuffed when I finished getting back to the car, Oh also I was game enough to shoot the mates .300WinMag Tikka T3 Lite and his shitty scope only has like 1- 1 1/2 inch eye relief and Idk with it being light or what ever scoped my self 2 times out of 3 although only one got me good enough but didn't draw blood so its sweet. I had a pretty good day really first time in ages I have got off my ass and did some exercise and it showed I went to sleep not long after I got home, Only just got up really. Oh no pics sorry left my phone in the car with music pumping and your dreaming if I get my ass back down there.

    Good to see you out and about doing it Toby. Bit slow on the uptake letting yourself get scoped more than once though

    @VC, Yeah but he was standing and doesn't shoot a hell of a lot, he was scared of the thistles and wouldn't lay down.

    @Rushy, Well yeah but I was going to move my head back, which I did for the last shot I though fuck this shit but while shooting off the first 2 which scoped me when I moved back on the second the sight picture went shit( you guys will know what I mean) so I thought nah I will keep it nice and clear and moved forward again but nope even worse. I hit the target at 100m about 1inch apart but pretty high and only 2 shots. I reckon they were the first 2 where I had the proper sight picture the last one when I moved back was the one that missed I reckon

    Forgot the add we shot muzzle loaders, I shot one in one hand too and hit the target even though it was only 30m. Whaka yeah.

    Awesome Toby. I've had a chance to shoot muzzle loaders a couple of times. Real good fun. You gotta wait half an hour for the smoke to clear

    Where'd you get them? I've never seen any in any gun shops up here.

    There my mates he has 2 .50s and a .70. not in the pics he never gets in front of the camera. Get them from hayes and associates they are pedosoli or how ever you spell it. They have crap triggers but are good fun I have shot 2 goats with the one that I was holding.

    I forgot what powder we used but it is really big and grainy and doesn't pour out very good like the home made black powder or 777, pryodex and so on.
