    Another New guy on the block

    Pleasure to meet you all,

    Have just moved down to the Nelson/Tasman area after getting my FAL.
    Recently completed the Hunts course, with the NZDA and have been busying myself in attempting to get my fitness up to hunting standard. But office work gets in the way.

    Here's hoping to get my first solo deer in 2024!

    Welcome to the forum. Lots of good members around Nelson. Expect to get the deep end of the flounder net first up though.

    Welcome aboard. Get out there now. The yearlings have just been kicked out of home by mum and are having to find their way by themselves

    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

    Welcome to our humble home area in Nelson, once you have more posts under your belt you can contact a few members by private message.

    I get out during the week mostly when I can as I work weekends.

    Working weekends and getting time off in the week is amazing. That's what I did before kids!
