    Shooter, not a hunter.

    Hi all, Stuart from Christchurch here. been shooting for coming up 8 years now and always been more of a shooter than a hunter which i would like to fix a bit. probably got for a hunt 1 or 2 times a year mainly for wallabies or rabbits. been reloading since i got my first rifle and have 3 or 4 seasons of f class mostly shooting an amazing accurate omark but have now upgraded.

    Cheers

    Welcome to the forum Stuart.
    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

    i was shooting the omark before ftr was around, so put a flat bottom on it and shot off a rest, never did get around to getting it on a bipod.
    changed to a barnard 6mmbr, was shooting great when i first got it but shelved it for two years while overseas and dropped all my range memberships and havnt got around to getting a good load for it. shoots in the high 50's but always just hanging on never ahead of the game. give me a couple of months and ill have it sorted tho.
