    Positive experience

    After being on the forum for a few days now, I thought I'd say hello as being a new member. Have been into hunting for a few years now, getting out as much as I can, and now just starting to become more serious as my days at university are nearly over, meaning I have bit more money to throw around now. Recently I have just bought a new gun, which I'm hoping to get as soon as lockdown is over and now currently on the hunt for a nice scope to suit. So far my experience I've had on this forum has been amazing, people are very helpful and knowledgeable which is great to see and makes the process so much eaiser. Cheers Joshua

    Good to see younger members who hopefully have many years hunting left. This place is a gold mine and older people here are only too happy to pass their knowledge and experiences along to those who need it.
    Welcome aboard.

    Welcome aboard young fella.
    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

    Gidday Joshua, few of your fellow Lincoln counterparts on here. Have fun, delve deep and enjoy the Hells Canyon, cracking rifle.

    Should have got a 30cal though.

    Now, now - all calibres are welcome. Even the poor lost souls with 270's
