    GPM.
    I basically agree @grandpamac but fear the influence of Fudds may be to the detriment of other firearm owners.

    Greetings @Finnwolf,
    I understand that but as a card carrying Fudd myself I need to point out that it is often the card carrying Fudds that are keeping range shooting alive and hence the availability of ranges in general. Many of these chaps, and it is mostly chaps, are in declining health and could do with a bit of help.
    Regards Grandpamac.

    What's a Fudd in a NZ context? I had to look the term up up, and it seems to have US/2nd Amendment connotations. Is a Fudd someone who willingly gave up their semi-autos, as opposed to those who gave them up grudgingly?

    Many hunters who believe rifles are only for shooting deer and people believe clay bird shooting and smallbore are the only legitimate shooting sports, I am obviously a sacrificial lamb and extremist as an ipsc shooter
    Yes I said it

    You are not alone brother.
    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

    It's hard to fully explain as most of it wound up in American ideas, and a lot of internet jokes/memes. At risk of detouring a good thread see these examples.
