I found that shooting just under the fish works ,not that I'd do a thing like that .
Those old cullers I reckon if the gadgets had been available back then they'd have them too.

bush men.
But great mentors & teachers too ,they didn't suffer fools.
I can remember my old man taking us fishing one new years day with the .22 spinner one hell of skill to hit them on the rise:D
Bit of a vid on the rise.............no i don't need a fly rod I like the challenge with the spinner.

My paternal grandfather on the other end of it made no concession for my youth and just showed me the stance and the grip and said keep the rhythm with me boy and we'll be right.
That would have been "cutting edge"technology back then eh Rushy !:D:D:D
They didn't have chainsaws when my old man started work in the bush at 14 .
2 man saws ,maul & wedges , slabbing axe & a team of bullocks .
