    Start with an introduction

    Hi, my name is James, I have just signed up to nzh&s and this is my first post. I live in Wellington, fix fridges for a living, and I'm happiest eating a well cooked dinner after a good day hunting, before hitting the tent ready, for an early start in the morning, and going to sleep listening the local stags roaring.
    I have been shooting since the 80s but only shot my first deer 12 years ago. I shoot a K98 8mm06, but have a cabinet full of a range of other guns. I came to this forum though my old school chum and hunting buddie; he can identify himself if he see fit.

    Welcome

    8mm 06 is an interesting choice of calibre, plenty of grunt

    Yes, it was recommended by my hunting buddie, he calls it knock down power. I manage my flinch by aiming left before closing my eyes and pulling the trigger. - 99% have dropped on the spot.

    Given his handle we might not be hearing from this guy again. I've friended him anyway just in case he turns out to be a good sort.

    I made myself laugh. Nah.. we'll hear from James again. In the meantime here is some more from a couple of years ago on the 8mm.

    Welcome to the forum. It is a great place.
    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
