    My best shot to date is a pig at 440 odd yards. Had a strong wind coming in from 1 or 2 o'clock that was also lifting up the face. Had to allow for the windage of the wind, the lift created by the wind and then distance, angle, temperature and pressure. Got everything right and dropped the pig with one shot.


    The most memorable I have witnessed is my father shooting his first deer in 40 years. We had been trying for 20 odd years to get him one, fair chase public land, when he finally did it. Had to wait 45 minutes for the spiker to get up then managed to shoot it with one shot at 358 yds. He had to use an awkward, kneeling uphill rest. My 4 year old daughter was there as well.

    That is quite remarkable. Colour me impressed
    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
