    Hi all

    Long time lurker, signed up recently for the buy sell section.

    In the palmy area. Getting into target shooting- issf and ftr, want to get into ipsc but that doesn't seem to be working out. Interested in most forms of shooting, so long as I don't have to dress up for it.

    Wouldn't that mind trying my hand at reloading, so if anyone has some old gear (308 and 7.62x39) they wouldn't mind parting with send a pm my way.

    Do a little pest control for friends every now and then, just rabbits and possum. The Mrs wants to eat them but always chickens out last minute. I'd like to go for something bigger but I don't really know where to go around the Manawatu.

    My plan was to stick with 9mm in production until I get the hang of it. Is it worth reloading 9mm?
    I gave pistol silhouette a go a few months back... that sport is HARD!

    Welcome to the forum.
    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
