    Napier based

    Giddy, I’ve been a long time lurker, but reluctantly poster and I’ve decided to start getting more active on the forum. I used to work in the bush but now have a boring office-type job. So I’m getting back into hunting a lot more lately as an excuse to get out into the hills and to get some meat for the family (and some pretty average trophies). I’m keen to get into reloading to hopefully be able to shoot a bit further with consistency.

    Thanks Gary for the offer of help with reloading. I’ve got some mates that can hopefully show me the basics so should be right for now.

    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

    They're pretty much everywhere inside the red circle.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
