    New to it

    Gidday all,

    Been lurking for a while and procrastinating my FAL for longer.
    Finally got the process underway, safety course ticked off the other day.

    I've been out and about in the hills all my life with tramping, mtb and skiing so I reckon it's about time to take a rifle for a walk on some of the bush walks.
    Also have a bit of a habit for finding myself expensive hobbies, so hey what's another one right..

    It's a bloody awesome resource here, full of some great info for someone new to it all!

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
