    Nice spot mate, well done. Obviously the rifle held zero after we got it on at Simon’s.

    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

    It was a bit unfair @Rushy, I could have used the stock to club it to death, I was so close. We had followed it in the night before, but cut down off the road, didn’t hear me coming out I dropped it at about 25 metres. The three were in good condition. Mate had the bot, so young guy got one for him. The weather was terrible, but on his third trip out that day had did really well stalked up a creek bed and nailed it at a
    Over 200 metre

    I looked at your pic above and thought, is that the same Maca49 I met at Simons ....?? There, I would swear you looked younger with darker hair. But, maybe you had visited the makeup desk en route ...

    Rushy pretty good with my make up.
    I’ve have a prescription shampoo at present to sort my scalp and it bleached my hair.
    Should have heard the comments from my kids! My wife reckons it’s the worse photo she’s ever seen of me! They don’t hold back
