    Bonjour

    Hi everyone.
    I am French(originally). I arrived in New Zealand 7 years ago. I just love what the NZ outdoor has to offer.
    I am into bowhunting, close and long range shooting. I am an accuracy nut and try to do most of my own gunsmithing.
    Now that I have my citizenship I support a bit more the All Blacks, but my heart was a bit sadden at Eden Park two weeks ago ;-). We will not mention last weekend.

    Friwi ( French +Kiwi)

    Many thanks for the warm welcome,
    Well,
    Everybody know that Middle earth is in the Waikato
    I am from Hamilton.
    What made me come here?
    Well NZ has a similar climate to France, plenty of deer to hunt, awesome fishing, not overcrowded beaches like in Europe.
    And Zee kiwi girls, Zey love zee French accent ;-)

    Salute, Friwi! I am a Caniwi, plenty of Safiwis here too. I'm not sure if Munsey has a pic of a beaver/fruit though but I'm sure you get the idea. Bievenue

    Welcome Friwi.
    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

    Hi Friwi, did someone trick you into moving to Hamilton or was that by choice? Welcome!

    Hamilton is not a choice. It is a sentence

    Nah, that is where work is at the moment.
    It is quite central and convenient for kitesurfing in Raglan, fishing in Coromandel , hunting in kaimais/ rotorua and taupo. And I have a 1000 yards range 20 min away from home...and it is better than getting stuck in Jaffaville.
