    New member from Wellington

    Hi there everyone my name is Nathan im 21 from Wellington.

    New here to try and learn from people and hopefully get some expert advise as no one i know is into firearms and i thought it would be something interesting to do a few years ago and have sort of jumped into the deep end.

    I am not a big hunter more sevice rifle sort of stuff even though i haven't joined the service rifle association yet (Hopefully to later get my E Cat) but would also like to get into some long range stuff.

    Im currently a 'Heavy fabrication welder' and i make all sorts of swinging plates, gongs and falling targets out of grade 500+ hardend steel for all of my shooting needs.
    Can make some for the members if anyone is interested in the Wellington region for a small fee.

    Looking forward to hearing from everyone (And get educated as im still lerning)

    Nathan,

    Heya Nathan, welcome aboard! The Wellington representation on this forum seems to grow every day. Keep an eye out for our forum beanies being worn at the supermarket

    Welcome Nathan. 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!

    ..and feck off, I don't have ugg boots. Gummies or slippers is more accurate (gummies are just slippers for outside!)

    Hahaha yes I have tried to avoid the hutt mall like the plague...I live in J'ville, just moved here I hope other people on here are like me and gaze up at the hills as we drive along the highway, thinking "ooooh I wonder if any yummy animals live up there.." There seems to be plenty of those beckoning hills around my new area. I can't wait to keep checking 'em out!
