Gidday there M-Duck
Ha'ha..I wasn't actually lookin at you bud when I said the above.
Running shots on Roos eh, ha I spent a few years on the Wallaby Board aways back, chompin through 3'000 rounds of ammo per case didn't take long at all and yeah, you lost count of gut shot roos lol. You were allowed 3 shots per kill or you were down the road,one got quite nifty pretty quick lol.
