    Hello from Taranaki

    Hi Guys,

    My names Steve and I am new to this forum.
    I am based in New Plymouth and am a keen hunter.

    After many years of raising a family and starting a business I have decided to get back into hunting as my kids are now old enough to join me (12yo twins)

    I am keen to meet new people and learn about new spots as the spots I used to hunt have all been sold up.
    Even a range to start with as my trust ol .308 hasn't been used in years.

    Cheers
    Steve

    Hi Steve, welcome! Awesome to hear you're getting your kids into it! I'm relatively new here too. Great bunch, and loads of wisdom.

    Hi Steve, welcome. I'm also recently relocated to the Naki, NP. NZDA chapters in Sth Taranaki (meet alternate mths Hawera and Stratford) and Nth Taranaki (meet monthly at Drake St Club rooms) are good folk to get alongside both with regular range events, Party Hunts organised etc. Google them for details

    I know a lot but it seems less every day...

    Due to the exorbitant cost of reloading components, warning shots will not be given.

    Welcome
    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
