    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

    Gibo you can quite easily turn a hobby into profitable sideline. I did and until I got sick it was very worthwhile pastime, certainly pays bills. You are making very exceptional lures there, well done. Soon people will be asking to buy their own personal Gibo lure. Also great Koha or pressies to those special to you.

    And so it begins. Making extra money doing what you like would have to be better than painting the house.

    Although that might almost qualify as essential travel.
    Ha ha ha ha, I sent the lady some of my grandfathers clamps which she uses to straighten sticks. In the event I become geriatric enough to need a stick then I will be placing an order as I have seen the quality of her work.
