About LinkBacksMy name is Toby I am 17, I have only been hunting since I was 12-13 became interested in firearms more when I was 14 got my firearms licence the day after I turned 16. Haven't been hunting due to some crappy health problems but should be good to go March next year. I don't really know what else to say except I hope to pick up a few tips from the experts.

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!

Hi Toby
Welcome in to the madness.

Lol you guys seem pretty cool here, here s short story about my crap health issue, enjoy,
I have had this sore leg since may but I couldn't see anything wrong with it but then just 2 weeks ago I went out for a hunt with my mates for a few days. it was a bit of work walking them hills and my leg where it hurt got a big lump there. So I went to the hospital and found out it was cancer. He said if it wasn't for my hunting trip 1st thing is i still wouldn't have gone into doctors and it could spread the 2nd thing is he said with me walking on it and causing it to swell up like it did that it helped stop it moving as well. I forgot the name of the cancer but I have to do chemo or something for 6 weeks and then they are going to take it out or something. So keep hunting people it could save your life
Storys pretty old I have been doing chemo for a while now.

Jeez Toby that is both a bit rough and bloody good luck for you. I like your attitude young fellah. Which part of the country are you in?

Hunting might have saved your life then ay? Me too but for an entirely different set of reasons.
Good luck with the chemo etc I have seen the effects on friends and family.
If there is anything I can do to help you out just ask man"Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

You are in the heart of gods own country there Toby. Good hunting to be had. There are some top blokes on this forum just a little south of you (Dannevirke way). If I was a betting man I would say the crocodile hunter will introduce himself soon. I second what V.C just said pal. If I can help in any way I would be happy to.

Love your attitidue mate, 'can't remember the name of the cancer', 'chemo for a few weeks' ha sounds totally in your stride! Good on ya bud! Same here as Rushy and VC, my old man has cancer, can be pretty scary stuff. And I am sure there is anther bloke on here from Wairoa?
