    Hi All

    I have recently moved to Christchurch from Scotland and have done quite a lot of most types of shooting. It is a little different here though so keen to learn from you guys. I have been told it's a 9-month wait for FAC here!!!

    Welcome aboard. Your wait time for a FAL should be much shorter now that Police have a new department.
    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 Saum. Lots of changes going on here so there's a bit of confusion but a great bunch of people with a ton of knowledge. And helpful as hell.

    Cheers Mighty Duck. Unfortunately I have just missed the Duck season I believe. That is very kind of you. We only have one vehicle at the moment but I will keep in touch when I sort something out.

    Was one of those moments ^move now or never do it^
