    G'day all

    Hi. I have been reading and using the forum for some time and decided I had better sign up. Based in the northern end of Waikato, I am a dairy farmer, father to 3 young'ns and sometimes hunter. Not a snowflake. Now my eldest is nearing 5 I will be introducing him to paper punching and bunnies, even if he just watches he will be learning. I have no flash gear but the Norinco .22 is more accurate than I had hoped and I have a .303 that went practically unused until Tarrant happened so am getting familiar with that again, I used some milsurp CAC ammo on goats two weeks ago and it really seemed to come alive. I am slightly odd in that I am right handed but shoot left handed due to a weak eye. Consequently ducks are very safe from me during duckshooting, two good eyes being needed for depth perception. Have been attending the odd shooting event over the last 5 years (and even held some private ones on farm) and hoping to make the Central North Island Gun Club's "Lithgow Arms and Broncos Steel Plate Challenge" on the 1 Feb Keen to see if I come away happy with my shooting.

    Cheers

    Welcome KC.
    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

    It has only annoyed me a couple of times, Mauser action rifles I tend to loose some skin off one thumb and once I used an AK47 and was surprised by the cases ejecting straight across my face. Plus some rifles and shotguns have canted stocks so they are no go for me
