    Grandpa's Delight

    As posted in an earlier thread, I am envious of those fathers and grandfathers who get to hunt/fish/enjoy the outdoors with their children/grandchildren (all of my grandchildren live in Oz). Here's a few images that make me smile...

    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

    @northdude yeah boi! And that's why I'm envious. The kids won't be home until at least next year.

    Grandson (on the left in the images) speared the mud crabs with his mates during the weekend then took them home for dad to cook!
