    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

    Don’t fuck around if it gets worse. Get to a doc before it becomes ulcerated.

    I got bit by one of those f**kers once, triggered a bad asthma attack and put me in hospital. I have another friend who got bit in the thigh and had on going skin issues for years.

    Another couple of tree rats, anyone got some tips for getting the fur off faster?
    I seem to be a bit slow and by the time they get to this point I cant get the fur off anymore, feels like a half job if they aren't plucked clean.
