    Hi from Canada

    Hi all,

    Joined the forum to scout out the shooting and competition side of things in NZ.
    Toying with the idea of emigrating from Canada to New Zealand so I hope you can put up with my newbie questions.

    Cheers,

    Mike

    Welcome Beltfed (Mike).

    The only dumb question is the one not asked. There are some very knowledgeable members on here who will help with any inquiry you may have, so ask away.

    I used to work in the Hunting Department at Bass Pro, just north of where you are in CrossIron Mills, about 4 years ago now. Great part of the world you live in, loved my time there.

    Go the Flames!

    Cheers,
    Bryan

    Welcome,

    I spent a large portion of my life in Canada (Jasper, Vancouver & Toronto). I think NZ has a very similar climate and terrain to parts of Canada, without the -30 degree weather.

    While things are slightly more expensive here.

    Food, beer and coffee is better in NZ.

    Closer (and cheaper) to the warm beaches of Australia.

    Guns laws are better.

    Suppressors.

    Welcome Beltfed. I have been from one side of your country to the other so go ahead and come on down here for a while. Can't hurt you and we are as friendly a bunch of folk as you will find anywhere.
    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
