    Not so new noob

    Hey all!

    Been hunting for 25 years (South Africa). New to NZ, and new to NZ hunting scene. Hoping to learn a lot here....

    Left all my firearms when I came here, but happy to start over again!

    Stay safe
    Mike

    Welcome Mike, which part of the big smoke are you in?
    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

    Oh and I think Rushy meant, what part of Auckland are you in? Which is known as the “big smoke” in NZ
