    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

    Done that with pipe to get the camera to sit in the eyebox, use the view finder for sighting rushy. Might have to make another one like that.

    That gun i bought for him to use, it's one of those Norinco jw15 with the over barrel suppressor. I have found it to be an excellent gun, i favour it over my 10/22 although nothing like double tapping to make sure haha.
    That's a good effort to get that close. I bought a JW-15 for the kids too. Shortened and suppressed it is an absolute tack driver. Might have to let them use it sometime.

    i sighted it in at 40m, he was so close i was worried he'd mess it up shooting a couple inches low but he took his time, loaded a round in and popped it. that's why we do it, the joy on their face

    i've found that one insanely accurate, it's brilliant.

    This was last summer, my first wild goats and the reason i have decided to get a centrefire. Would have done it sooner but threw too much money into a new hotted up engine for my old ss so had to wait, my uncle was good enough to lend me his model 7 in 308 for that day and i thoroughly enjoyed it and want my young fulla to be part of it to.

    no mate, not even sure where it is but i live within 5k's as the crow flies from kauri mountain. I'll probably look into heading out there when i'm happy with my setup to see what sort of accuracy i can get. A mate who moved to tauranga recently told me about the range out there as he used to shoot there i think so i was planning to find out more.

    Good bunch of dudes up there with heaps to learn from them, but we need more young blood coming through as well. Sucks for me and my mate both being shift workers so often miss shoots.

    Is that the bit you look down into when you put the black out curtain over your head?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
