    New shooter in HB

    Hi guys, new shooter living in Hastings. Initially interested in target shooting to get my skills up, but looking forward to being able to shoot to eat as well. Family consists of a Benelli Supernova, a Howa 308 and selling the SKS to fund a .22 or .17 CZ. Advice or info/leads for places to shoot much appreciated, keen to meet more shooters so drop by for a beer if you are local. Have a great Christmas y'all, and look forward to being a part of the forum.

    Hi Wayne, send me a pm and I can get you out to a few short and long range target shoots, and show you some good possies where the reds and Sika live in the kawekas.

    Andrew.

    Welcome to the forum Wayne. You are in the right hands already
    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

    While I might not be as good as I once was, Im as good once as I ever was!
