    How far is your place from Rotorua? It cost an extra $10 to get the Te Kuiti

    Well done John.
    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

    if I am correct then at this stage confirmed are you, me, 2SK, Mucko and BushHunter. Possibles are Phillip, Toby and Gibo. I am relaxed as to numbers as this is a great way for us to get to know one another.

    Hi Rushy, that camp ground you showed me might be a great place to have all the boys camp at, use that as the base. If theres room I'd be keen to catch up with Mucko and 4 shot kill ,opps I mean 2 shot kill.... And of course you Rushy..... and all the other retrobates..

    At this stage I reckon we will all fit on my road end Mohawk660 and that will put us right in amongst it. You are as welcome as a drink to a thirsty man.

    I cant spell but we will be in the Ureweras, in the Whiranki Forest. The word Forest is a dead giveaway..... If we see each other in the bush someone is doing something wrong. And I for one would prefer not to see Mucko's ugly mug !
