    That is a memory for life.
    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

    We have just got home and given that fish a weigh up. It went 9 & 3/4 pd gutted and gilled. (68cm)

    My mother has a brown trout mounted that was caught by her in the pomahaka river when I was 7 years old. It is one of my great childhood memories that fish. It went 9 & 3/4 pd whole.

    Her fish has held the family trout record for 42 years but it has now been broken by my 7 year old. I can't tell you how special that is for both me and her.

    Amazing !!
