    Damn that is sad. I am pretty sure that I still have thre rifles that Mike sold me. Rest in peace mate. Come to think of it I don’t think I have been in that shop since Mike sold it.

    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

    Mike was a really good guy and the shop has never been as good as when he owned it. He had worked for Carters years ago and knew heaps about forestry. Pretty sure he had a couple of vintage MX bikes. Always happy to share his experience and knowledge, he'll certainly be missed.
