Yep, that first jaws film scared the bejesus out of me when I saw it. The other ones, not so much but I still hesitate to go into the water. In a boat Im all good.

I was at a party a couple weeks back with a bunch of us being born a few years either side of 1970, discussing this very issue. We all had the same problem, Jaws was part of our upbringing and the...

Why doubt it was a great white? They are not uncommon in NZ waters. When I was seriously in to SCUBA diving, I was flying all over the world to dive with sharks. Even made the trip down to Bluff...

Yes would have been a great sight alright, however I to saw Jaws at a very impressionable age and as a consequence sharks, and being in the sea both fascinate and scare the shit out of me.

That would have been quite a sight, I'm envious. If you'd been lucky enough to catch it on film you'd be famous. I've seen dead great whites washed up on HB beaches twice in my life, one of the...

Quite probable man, they are far more common in nz waters than we realise. Could have also been an orca in close but obviously quite a different shape. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

I fitted a GCL compact 4 x 32 scope to the Bergara (thanks to Gonetropo). I was surprised and delighted to find that the open sights do not appear in the image I see through the scope. This scope...

Absolutely, particularly in the goldfields. In the 1860's in the Otago goldfields it was customary to fire your guns and reload them every evening. That served to remind claim jumpers of the...

The media are the scourge of the thinking man. Sadly there’s a real shortage of THINKING men - or anybody. ‘Its in the news so it must be true’
