    Introductions

    I have only just come around this forum and do not know how I haven't found it sooner! I have been hunting most my life starting at rabbits and possums and now targeting Deer, Chamois Tahr and ducks. I moved down to Christchurch for university and I am loving the opportunities down here. Looking forward to learning from you all and hopefully contributing where I can.

    Cheers,
    Matt

    Welcome Matt.
    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
