    Introduction

    Hi all,

    Just a quick intro. I have just arrived from the UK (5 days ago) to work in Hamilton for 12-18 months. I am Scottish and started off as an upland gamekeeper after leaving school. Been obsessed with all things shooting since then. Just left the Army after 18 years working as a Doctor. Always wanted to come to what is seen by us as a field sport nirvana. I am finally here and looking to get out as much as possible. Would be very grateful for any local advice, contacts.

    Cheers. Kev

    Welcome. Enjoy
    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

    So I am told Cam. Not really sure I would cope with a proper winter after 8 years on Coromandel.
