Apparently the armourer had placed 3 guns on a bench outside the set. At least one was loaded live for use for a particular effect in a scene. She may have then left them unattended but that's...

The last deer I shot with my 223 was a very large Red Hind in Pureora Forest. It was an offhand neck shot at around 70m and the handloaded 55 grain Norma Oryx pulverized her vertebrae. To me the...

My blue heeler jumped off the tray of my ute a 100, much the same outcome. He jumped straight back on sheepishly. He had broken the clip on his chain, lunging at a passing car, as he liked to do. ...
