I used to be conscious about sort of wasting ammo but now I shoot all my guns as often as I can.
Safety , background etc all has to be studied properly first remember the 3kms plus rule.
Wicked as when you .308 Pukes and Rabbits and Magpies looks like someone having a pillow fight..
Living rurally and having mates the same does make it kinda easy.We have some massive farms to shoot on so a bit lucky.
Smack some pigeons with your large caliber its great fun.. You should see my mate 300 Win Mag stalking Magpies..
He knocks them over at 250 mtrs and thats using the rangefinder. I do think it improves your safety aspect and definitely gets you used to having a firearm in your hands.
Its gotta be a lot safer than hunting with once a year hunters who hardly ever handle a high power firearm..
