    Southern fella

    Howdy. I'm a complete newbie to hunting. In fact I've never used firearms before. I applied for my licence yesterday, and expect to wait 18 months or more. The motivation is to put meat on the table.
    I'm from Dunedin. I've done a bit of hiking in the past, so I'm familiar with a few of the doc areas around here. I'll be investing in a decent pair of binoculars so I can spend the next 18 months covering kms on foot preparing for when I have a rifle. The plan is to get the GPO Range Guide 2800 10x32 LRF binoculars, unless someone has something bad to say about them?
    Hoping I can be of value on here somehow over the next few years! Reading through the forum has provided a great deal of knowledge to me already.

    I love chainsaws, drink speights, lift heavy barbells, and live for the next opportunity to get into nature.

    If the leith valley rifle range will allow me to come and watch, listen and learn prior to me being licenced, locals may see me there over the next year.

    Welcome Brad.
    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
