    Way to go.
    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

    Have 100 odd in the brooders doing well, eggs in the incubator due to hatch early december. Saw a young hen in the garden this afternoon with a wild brood of at least 5 so hopefully a few more of the young hens we released here will also have chicks provided the neighbours cats dont find them first.
