    Hey Everyone

    New to this site but been hunting/shooting for a while now. Enjoy hunting bunnies, possums and goats. Keen to bowl over some wallabies and wouldn't say no to Bambi if it popped out in front of me 😎👍 Been reading up on some of the threads about wallabies in Vegas and keen to explore further options. If anyone has any tips/hints/location of interest that would be appreciated 😎

    yeah no possums here, council did an eradication program( or rather employed pest erradicators) . Did an awesome job. Nope not powder for me, off on air rifle buzz at moment. There is a pic of wallaby that Billbob shot with a .25 hatson air rifle. That's totally sparked my interest. accuracy, stealth to get close. Put one on my to get list and wallabies on my to do. I'll leave the mince meat to you. lol

    Welcome aboard
    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
