    Explain?
    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 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

    Hunting style clothing has definitely become “fashionable”, especially in the rural sector, and also in Dinsdale. I guess they’re making hay while the sun shines.
    More meplat, more better.

    My missus makes more money than I do, selling sports clothes to people who don't do sport. The markup is unreal, there's no barrier to buy (license), it doesn't go stale, you can buy em for kids etc etc etc.. Clothing is a hell of a racket, they'd be mad not to

    I was in the Botany store on Thursday and there didn't seem to be any more clothing than the last time I was ther (about two years ago). Different style of clothes though maybe.

    Perhaps it's not prestige brands but not all of us can afford them. Like Kathmandu it's good enough for dinsdale and taita and working people can afford to buy a box of top to toe gear as the kids grow out.
