    Welcome!

    There's a Black Powder club that shoots out of the NZ handloaders range, but I don't know the days they shoot off the top of my head. The handloaders committee will know if you ask them.

    Once you've got enough posts to send private messages, send me a message. Can probably help you with the basics.

    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
