    Did everyone miss the opportunity to ask Dorkus about hare (hair) pie?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    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
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Out with @mudgripz and @TimeRider last night to a farm we shoot regularly. The ground was pretty boggy in places so didn't get too adventurous, just had to shoot a bit further. We tallied a low 18 which was good, shows we had made a dent. For the third trip in a row I nailed a cat too.

    You'd think the cat would have learned by now... only 6 lives left.

    I'm hoping that this time next year all those lives will be used up.

    Yeah it's ok and proving to be a better shooter than I thought it would be. I am still not that happy with the trigger but I think the gun and I are still sussing each other out and getting know each other.
    The scopes a shocker mate, came with the rifle, Nikko Game King 3-9 x 40...... it's got that many fucken mildots in it my eye balls shit them selves everytime I look in it.
    Great air gun scope out to 40- 50 mtrs but really thick and obscure most of a rabbit at 100mtrs. Thing that pisses me off is I am still hitting fur with the bloody thing at 125 mtrs plus, can't see the rabbit, just put the huge thick black lines on it and squeeze off.
    Early days yet but you know that feeling when you buy a new rifle ( like a woman ), some are instant love and you know you have a keeper, some look horny but are just dogs. And some are a little distant , don't do anything wrong and leave you thinking " might be worth putting some effort in here "
    So far....it maybe worth putting some effort ( new scope ) into.
