    Young buck from Lower Hutt

    Dan from Lower Hutt now living in Christchurch as I study at Uni Canterbury. Always wanted to shoot and hunt but Dad only liked fishing and Mums afraid of guns so no fun for me.
    When I came down to chch last year I thought I'd finally get the chance to go for it but we all know what happened there. After about a year of "processing" and a couple unsuccessful walks with mates finally got my license through and bought my first gun a 7mm08 Howa early this year. Surely I am getting close to mastering patience, still waiting for my first deer with the help of my auntie Jacinda
    Anyway I'm keen for all the good stuff to come and hopefully wont lose all my poor student dollars to the buy and sell section.

    Cheers

    Hi Dan, you have a really good rifle. Ignorant people with no appreciation of the caliber will call you a latte drinking tofu eating Jaffaesque bastard.

    Ignore them all.

    Welcome Dan..
    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
