    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

    That'll bump the months count up a fair dose there Dundee.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    I bowled over 3 hares last night (all little ones though). All my offhand practice with the 22 is paying off (that never comes hunting though). One of the shots was offhand at around 80-100m ish. I was chuffed.



    I also got 7 possums and another few got away. Once they get up in those thick evergreens you never see them again.



    That HMR makes a mess when you hit something hard



    I remembered to take plastic bags with me this time so have another couple of bags of possum fur.
