    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

    Out in the tall timber today, got two goats off-hand at 76m through the trees and about 30degrees down slope from ridge..the Billy stood still a moment too long and I got my cross on neck, front of shoulder - no coming back from that,! 150g Remington Corlokt from 7x57mm Interarms Mk X..a half grown kid kept stepping so took the kidney shot as its front half disappeared behind a tree. Another emphatic kill. When we got down there, mate took the kid's hind legs for dinner, the bullet had entered obliquely just in front of hind leg and basically gutted the poor little fella. I added his tail to the bag. Nice head on the Billy but small as was the animal itself. Left it on the stump. Nice to get out for half a day.

    That Blaser Bipod mount and the Bipod itself look like the biz. That and the sling on the barrel - man after my own heart

    Even at the age of 11, they can learn patience. (Theoretically.)

    Sorry dogs, these bunnies are for your dinner tomorrow. Thanks for licking up the drips in the meantime.
