Thread: Test passed, technically 28 but really it was 30!

So did the safety course today and passed, annoyingly with a 28/30 score. Dropped one question because I identified the correct answer C then had a brain fart and scrubbed off answer A 🤦🏻*♂️

Even more annoying, answered another question correctly but the callouses on my hand partially scrubbed another answer, so that gets marked as a wrong answer too!

The "foil" covering the answers is clearly made out of wet toilet paper 🧐
But it's a pass, so just the vetting, interview and gun cabinet inspection to go......confess to being "slightly excited" 🤣

Well done. Prepare to say goodbye to your savings

Buy xtra strong bolts or dina bolts for yr xtra strong gun safe.Altho Ymo a pretty safe little town.

yes welcome to hunting dont get to carried away with first rifle - I shot my first deer with my target rifle - all I had - fully wooded .303 with full aperture target sights and tunnel foresight - did the job

Indeedy, even just one gun has an attendant amount of accessories required, case, sling, cleaning gear etc etc, fortunately I've already got the rest of the outdoor gear! I wonder how many people buy a "cheap" first rifle and then spend another couple of grand getting ready to go use it ��

My gun safe is made out of 6mm steel plate, 3 locks bolted to a concrete floor and 6" wall....and it's hidden in a void in the building, so unless you know where to look you'll never find it, Ymo is safe but there's still a small number of undesirables

Good advice, I've secured a Franchi Horizon .243 which licensed friends are collecting and storing for me until my FAL arrives. Timing slightly off but too good a deal to walk past, especially with the Burris Fullfield E1 3-9x40 scope....so possibly it's too late for me
