    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

    Welcome.

    Tell us a bit more about yourself.

    Are you a hunter - big or little game?

    A target shooter - smallbore or fullbore?

    Your favourite calibre(s)?

    Have you fallen into the reloading wormhole yet?

    Well Cyclops....I can say his first ever shot of centrefire...was with my .223 and snotted a wallaby as neatly as you please.He didnt disgrace himself in the slightest with .12ga over opening weekend either...but he did try to pinch my Pump after using it...and our mutual mate who shot with us that year and the season before still hasnt forgiven him for shooting not 1 but 2 caanada geese first time out....poor ol Casey still hasnt managed to tick that box LMFAO.

    Welcome almnz, if you hang out with @Micky Duck I'm sure we'll be out on a hunt together soon enough. I reckon we should plan a day out to our usual wallaby spot Micky.
