    Yeah mate. All day trying to keep a lid on him, expecting the wheels to fall off. Perfect control all day. A joy

    Got this fulla tonight, was great fun, my dogs were up a hill and working hard with me and a mate waiting below, put out 5 hens at this spot before a rooster escaped out left, bugger we thought and started to walk off, then this one went as well, and fell cleanly to a long high shot, and was then nicely retrieved down the hill, I was rapt

    That has to be over 30 bars. Have you counted?
    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
