    I frequent both, but my posting has dropped off quite a bit. Been too busy to get out and shoot lately so not much to contribute. I will often have a forum open up in the background and when there is a break in the mayhem I'll do a wee bit of reading. Being a beginner there is so much to learn and I'll sponge the knowledge from everywhere; one of my favourite sayings, "You learn something every day. The day you don't learn anything someone digs a big hole and they bury you in it."

    I agree with you Tussock there is no point holding grudges. Better to move on and get over whatever.

    Welcome aboard Major FYI, rank has no privilege on this site.
    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

    I had my heels together, stomach in, chest out, shoulders back and down as I was typing R93. I may be old but I still remember what to do in the presence of an officer.

    If you still walk around swinging your arms at breast pocket height, I would be worried.

    Haha, I'm pretty sure on my commissioning we were actually taught "Officers don't march, they saunter." Barf. No wonder 80% of the cadet force officers think the sun shines outta there asses....plus, the army left me unable to swing my right arm much higher than waist height anyway!

    Sneeze the real officer around here keeps forgetting to bring the handcuffs home!!

    Now, now Dougie, you may well get the masses confused. Id be worried about what Rushy is thinking about now.
