I guess we will never know how many lives may have been saved by more training.
Theres an interesting study done by the us army and fbi on uds on ranges and the training that was changed and the affects. key areas to address was fingers off triggers , weapons always pointing in safe direction, unload drills and checks. cheers

How rude. You are the man for the baby oil Neckshot.

that was a bloody great day out all credit to the organisers, I love the terrain up there ( Im still shit at guessing range) I haven't had baby oil on my Barbie reckon it would taste mighty strange. Being pestering a mate to come up to your shoot in may, could be" team townie."

I will pass you the relevant info then

Don't come hunting with me ,My rules apply at all times ,you don't F up at all , you are better to leave your shot and let the animal walk away Safety first

Thanks for that neckshot Ill look forward to it.
Yes Spook I sometimes wonder why I picked that name, it was a constant joke between an mate and i for years sort of like the saying " this is my rifle this is my gun, This is for fighting and this is for fun.
Soooo their wont be a photo of me and a sheep. and I guess in the future Ill make sure any photos that involve animals I will be atleast 5 feet away.

Red, green, orange and yellow appear as shades of grey to deer.

Not so. Deer see green and blue but not red. Pink is blue and red so it will stick out like a beacon to a deer - not sure that matters. Red appears green to deer as does orange and yellow. That's the thing, they cannot distinguish between red, green, yellow and orange. It's all green to them. Red would be darker as they see it with their green cones which are less sensitive to red. Beyond 625 nm red they can't see at all. We can see beyond 650 nm. Deer see blue very well - in fact, they see ultraviolet (as blue). But deer do not see in shades of grey. They have the same ratio of cones and rods in their 'central vision' as we have in out near peripheral vision and more colour cones than we have in a extreme peripheral vision yet we see colour perfectly well. Deer perceive things pretty much the same as a colour blind person would (red blind) but without the acuity we have.

This is something like how a deer would see a blaze orange top.

If any colour helps prevent you being accidentally shot . . . I would not be too concerned at what colours a deer can identify.

There are some very good safety reminders buried in this thread.

Maybe the 6 people that have been shot in New Zealand ,would still be alive if they hadn't bought blaze orange . Believe the B/S people tell you. I hunt in camo and you wont know im there ,unless I want you to know
