    It's like a forum but where people go to extraordinary lengths to show the rest of the world how stupid they are. Also the most used source of facts for the majority of NZ journalists.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Just got my FAL. Here is my first gun. I shot it in today, totally hooked already.

    Tikka Varmint 223.

    Its going to take a bit to get use to holding the thing steady so I can be accurate. Any tips guys...... I managed some good groups(even got some through the same hole) but then had some shockers. I guess practice makes perfect, I will get there slowly.

    using your left hand or even better a bag under the stock to steady it helps a lot.

    Agree with cam butt sack will improve 10 fold, set it up so it holds on the bull without your input then dont be intimidated when you fire ride the rifle like the woman you want to marry - Squeeze and hold firmly - dont go all sloppy like a one nighter

    Yep, Practice, practise, I just worked out I fired 269 rounds out of my new rifle before I shot the deer in last week.

    My group shooting abilities have got a wee bit better BUT I have confidence now in my rifle AND me.

    Out of that 269 rounds, the 20th round was at a deer at 350 and missed, 21'st round was at the hare 20 behind where the bloody deer was and hit and the 269th round was at a deer at 150 and hit. I fully intend to actually wear this barrel out. Plus I like just "shooting' matters not what or where.
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    My new rifle, a 1994 Brno ZKK 600 7x57. No pop-up aperture sight unfortunatley. Only has the standard trigger, not the single set. The stock has a shiny polyurethane finish which I will strip off and probably use boiled linseed oil on the stock.
    Adds to my 7mm collection. I now have a 7 08, 7x57, 7 SAUM and a 7 RUM. The odd one out is my 9.3x62.
