    G'day everyone,
    After lurking on this forum for around two years, I thought that I might as well join up and get involved.
    Being a new hunter who comes from a non-hunting family, this forum has most definitely helped with finding some of the ins and outs of it.

    Something about me is that I'm a 17 year old who has a liking for most things hunting and shooting.
    So far most of my hunting experience has been small game, with the odd hunt for deer and goats.
    I plan on getting in the bush more over the next few months, as I've found plinking paper and cans can get very expensive for a student

    I'll be sure to give back and help out others by sharing my future hunts and shoots.
    Gibo, Shearer, timattalon and 2 others like this.

    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!
