    Hi from a young buck!

    Hi all!

    Just wanted to give a quick intro of my self to observe good forum etiquette.

    Only young (20) and very inexperienced. Went on a paid pig hunt a few years back, came back empty handed as we only found a sow with some youngsters so left her. Approaching my 21st so my old man is finally letting me get into it.

    Have done fair amount of target shooting as a youngster so I'm not unfamiliar with rifles. Love my football and sport, anything active is good in my mind.

    Seen one or two new members dive in to forums and get ripped to pieces for being a little offensive, so I'll try and avoid doing that and hope for the respect in return.

    Cheers

    Welcome. Gibo is correct we are a good bunch but are quick not to suffer idiots except when we are one ourself. I trust you like the nectar of the gods that is Waikato ( may as well kick off properly right from the get go eh Gibo?).

    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
