    Yes, quite a few. And due to the location many were not aware of the 'Stranger danger' mantra that should be second nature for Sika. Had a couple of young'ns come across a face to see what we were talking about, and only squealed at us when they got to about 10m

    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

    I'll mark it down for poor symmetry on the tops.

    A burger or two when I'm up next will clear the issue though.

    Im not cheap, but I absolutely can be bought.

    All of us are open to graft payment if we are truthful. I start at a cuppa and a bikkie.
