    Good shooting guys.
    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

    Your shot wouldn't be far off this 7.5cm?

    What you talking 'bout Willis? Inches, feet, yards, chains, furlongs, miles. Grew up learning that stuff.

    Had a blast shooting @BRADS today his set up is absolutely ideal for the mid and longrange shooter novice and experienced alike!.
    I will be back with bells on and more projectiles.I was reluctant to shoot past my usual distance for one reason..........addiction!!!
    ah well to late now.Cheers again Brads both myself and my boys had fun.heres a pic of my shooting technique which you will see is highly polished
