    A brace. Well done.
    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

    Pretty quiet opening morning. Dog and I on a small farm pond, got half a dozen. It was clear over the weekend I don't do enough shotgun shooting in the off season or enough dog training....Few birds missed, rabbits chased and swear words said but all good fun.

    He did well to find it, although he could have retrieved it for me as well
