    Very sad news - a true stalwart of the firearms scene in NZ for so long. Thoughts go out to Amanda and family.

    That destiny awaits us all. RIP Robbie.
    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

    That is pretty hard news to take. One of the most genuine and honest 'Good Blokes' that I have ever known.

    I had known Robbie since he was squaddie, and was a hell of a nice guy. This was not unexpected but still far too soon. I was talking to him in July and he looked well and was his old wise-cracking self. Rest easy Mate!
