    On the trudge back I talked Martin into having a shot at a 6-7" rock at around 250y off the bi pod which he nailed dead center,apparently bi pods are not something that feature much hunting back home.

    Martin also omitted (maybe by accident?) his walking past two young nanny goats in the open at 25-30y on the way back,by the time I got his attention they had bolted

    I like that philosophy Mikee.
    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
