    Dunno mate. Try not to think too far past next week
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    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

    I have suggested to the committee that a barn door be placed to one side of the range. While it has been accepted in principle the debate is currently about whether it should be set at 25 or 30 yards.

    I have high standards to maintain Brads. The old man apparently didn't do too well at basic training before heading off WWII. Failed to hit the target door at 50y.
