    Howdy

    G'day all. I'm a 40 year old father of 3, keen outdoorsman, spent most of my life on and in the big blue. Moved to Christchurch and learned pretty quick my diving and fishing days were over.

    So I've taken up hunting. Progressively built my gear over the last 2 years. Couple of great walks in, 6 nights hunting Stewart Island, just got FAL and a .270 T3X to boot.

    Joined North Canterbury NZDA. Membership application in with handloaders.

    Shot 3 whitetail on Rakiura - one solo - Yankee Block.

    Planning a weekender with the son in the next couple of months and a Spring Hut with the mates.

    Here to contribute and learn.

    Cheers.

    Welcome along. Pack plenty of snacks and treats for the boy. They can power through the food while out on the big hunt with Dad!

    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
