    New hunter and shooter

    Hi guys,

    Just thought id introduce myself. I have been using this forum for about a year as my go to for good information and finally thought id make an account. I took up hunting about 2 years ago and got my license about a year ago. I had taken up reloading when I first got into it due to my partner's dad's advice and am yet to buy a box of centre fire ammunition. I shot my first deer a few months ago after becoming confident with my rifles and learning butchery etc. I think its fair to say I'm well and truely hooked.

    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
