    All good to go Dundee. If you camo your face and hands don't make the rookie mistake that would have got you a kick in the arse from your platoon sergeant.
    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

    Nah VC the rookie mistake for a soldier putting camo on for the first time is to forget to cam up the back of your neck. Sticks out like a big white beacon when they are walking away from you (makes a nice target).

    Been and done the mai mai today. Sorted the decoys out. Going to be shooting with my dad and granddad. A bunch of things I'd change but you know how it is. Young buck can tell the old dog new tricks Shooting over 15 decoys when theres 50 all up in the shed between us (shooting on a big lake btw) Oh well we'll see how it goes

    You're right happy. Though the ways they hunt are old and out dated I dont think theres anything better then being in a mai mai with them.
