Thread: Teen wounded. shot in shoulder

So how come then, quade bike deaths are accepted as being inevitable. "Just an accident" people say. Its a hunting forum mantra.

I say, "hop on a quade, and its a loaded gun".

I have haha



e: had to for work, despite quad bikes being useless shit for what we were doing and never using them

Done quad and chainsaw courses, NZQA recognized.

Both required for work at conservation sanctuary, and the chainsaw for my business and hobby as well.

To be honest I climb fences and all sorts of obstacles with a loaded weapon very often, safety on but most important, I'm always aware of my muzzle direction and my finger is outside the triggerguard.

Really personally mines on the ground a post away at least and I'll collect it easily from the other side. Dude it's a milli second to disaster !
and always an accident. Sorry your practice Im not happy with but just my opinion and won't affect me !

Depends on the fence. A standard 9 wire fence I can walk over but with mesh netting fences like ours here were the wire cant be pushed down also has an eletric wire running on the top I do what happy said and put the gun over first then jump

And yet there is nothing for shooting is there.
You get your experience from hunting mates and gun clubs..if you belong to one
so bad habits can be obtained
