    1st post

    Hello to all. I got introduced to guns as a youngster on my Grandads farm in North Waikato and Dad had a single shot .22 as I grew up in Howick. I recall taking that gun to College and then onto target shooting as a liberal study (well thats what it was called) once a week. Imagine doing that today!
    Im not a regular hunter but have done my share of small game /goats/ wallabies etc. Present have two .22's and a good 1918 Lee enfield 303. That last gun has a tale on it own as a result of a marriage split years ago.
    Any rate for a newbie thats me

    Cheers Brett

    What Ho Brett............Welcome and I'm sure that most of us are aware that it is a rarity to find a "Smellie" without a story behind it.

    Perhaps you'll share your's with us one day.

    Welcome Brett.
    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
