I have "pet" Hawks on quite a few of the properties I visit. They are so used to me they don't even fly off when I get to about 15m away and throw them a Rabbit or Pukeko for lunch. Awesome birds.

A good subject Craig that a lot of hunters seem to be interested in. I've been using a Tikka 6.5 CM for the last three years with a variety of Maxtoch torches mounted on the scope in conjunction with...

Well its easy to be holier-than-thou but I got caught a couple of years ago and I had a chamber flag in too. I was shooting on my own with my Rossi 357 LA. Worked the action to unload unfired rounds....

Well I would have said everything else won't be equal, as the wood stocked rifle will be heavier therefore less felt recoil, but I just checked the weights of my Brno's and the fibreglass stocked one...

Thanks for the reminder. On the target range we have to check the barrel is clear, get in confirmed and insert a chamber flag. It can be an annoying discipline, but ensures no-one leaves the...

A good honest post and a wake up call to us all to check, check and tripple check. You can never be too careful
