    First time posting, long time lurking

    Always enjoyed reading the forum and found a lot of useful info on here. Thought it was about time I got involved.

    Grew up on a farm in Matamata, stuck working up in Auckland. Started off possum shooting and pig hunting with an uncle about 10years ago. Spend most of my weekends fishing or heading for the bush chasing deer. Always keen to check out new spots but spend most of my time in Te urewera, Kaimais and Kaimanawas. Currently shooting a .270 but looking at getting a short suppressed 308 for the tighter stuff. Have a 4 year old GSP who keeps me company on solo missions, she's good on ducks but needs more work indicating deer.

    Cheers and looking forward to being part of the banter
    Pengy, 308 and Daithi like this.

    Welcome Neville.
    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 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
