    Good Evening

    Greetings to all. I'm new to the hunting scene having grown up without the benefits of any hunting family etc. But after spending a few years in the Green Machine have come to find the cold and wet misery found only at the top of a craggy knoll much to my liking, having gotten myself 1x firearms licence, 1x .22, 1x small game hunting permit and am researching choices for centrefire currently awaiting funds.
    Have been lurking in the darkness of a non-poster for a while now but am keen to become more active as I approach the time of my kit completion (if there is such a thing).

    Welcome Conch. 2SK is correct as you will never get all the kit. Plenty on here have been in the green machine. Even an old codger like me
    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

    Never too old to start from the bottom, only too wise.

    Thanks all, got no shortage to learn and I'm sure you have no lack of information to pass on.

    Ripping into people isn't really my style VC I'd much rather let people dig their own holes

    Not ripping into people, just friendly humor
