    Newbie from Masterton

    Hello my name is Daniel and I am just in the process of getting my firearms licence.

    I didn't grow up with firearms or hunting but since moving back to the Wairarapa I really wanted to get my licence and start enjoying the outdoors. Talking to people I know about getting my licence has turned up more people that often go hunting which will hopefully make it easier for me to learn and get out there.

    I have recently put a .22 and a .308 on layby so when the licence turns up in the mail I can head down and pick them up.

    Just recently found the site so will be looking through the many topics and hopefully pick up some good information and stories.

    I also managed to change the site to mobile when I log in and now I cannot get it back to the full site. When I click the full site at the bottom of the page it doesn't seem to do anything. I don't know if any format is better than the other but any ideas how to get it back?

    Cheers
    Daniel

    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
