About LinkBacksHi. I have been reading and using the forum for some time and decided I had better sign up. Based in the northern end of Waikato, I am a dairy farmer, father to 3 young'ns and sometimes hunter. Not a snowflake. Now my eldest is nearing 5 I will be introducing him to paper punching and bunnies, even if he just watches he will be learning. I have no flash gear but the Norinco .22 is more accurate than I had hoped and I have a .303 that went practically unused until Tarrant happened so am getting familiar with that again, I used some milsurp CAC ammo on goats two weeks ago and it really seemed to come alive. I am slightly odd in that I am right handed but shoot left handed due to a weak eye. Consequently ducks are very safe from me during duckshooting, two good eyes being needed for depth perception. Have been attending the odd shooting event over the last 5 years (and even held some private ones on farm) and hoping to make the Central North Island Gun Club's "Lithgow Arms and Broncos Steel Plate Challenge" on the 1 FebKeen to see if I come away happy with my shooting.
Cheers

Welcome KC.
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

It has only annoyed me a couple of times, Mauser action rifles I tend to loose some skin off one thumb and once I used an AK47 and was surprised by the cases ejecting straight across my face. Plus some rifles and shotguns have canted stocks so they are no go for me Originally Posted by dvk-kp
