    Intro - newbies

    Hi all. Thanks for the ad. My partner and I are new to hunting and we are currently doing the HUNTS course with NZDA Dunedin.
    We both have no hunting experience outside of the odd bit of bunny busting. We have been having a read through a bunch of these posts to start our learning curve. Have read some great stuff on here already.
    Looking forward to learning heaps, gaining tips and getting out in the bush and hopefully bringing some meat home soon.
    Cheers

    Welcome aboard.
    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
