   Good advice above. Just to add my experience. They seem to come out in to clearings later in the morning than deer, when the sun is well up. I often get going too early for goats and catch up with...

   Steep and bluffy, rocky areas. Will beds mid morning and sometimes arvo, seem to feed mid day fairly often. Listen for them, will hear them bleating if you get a bit of elevation. This time of year...

   Have had great success in the tangihua ranges with no dogs, it's mountainous but dense bush and plenty of flat areas full of classic kiwi bush. They do leave obvious "game trails" over time through...

   #1. Fit a suppressor. #2. reload. And before all that, go join a club and you will be swamped with assistance for shooting more comfortably and accurately :D

   Your second paragraph is exactly what you do. Just relax and focus on a smooth trigger pull. A .243 doesn't need anything else don't try and fight anything, you'll end up tensing up just before the...

   a suppressor will sort out a lot - no dont hold rifle in a death grip just steady will do - make sure your scope is set up as far foward as will allow a good sight picture - some practice with decent...

   I will try and get this right... ear protection is a must..the big loud bang is really scarey to the human mind until it gets used to it...ear plugs AND muffs ideal on the range front hand will be...

   I don't think this is something for which there's a definitive right or wrong answer. Find what works for you through experimentation. A lot of people use a bipod and don't hold onto the front at...

    I won’t reiterate what others have already said, and MD pretty much summed it up, but I’ll add one small consideration. That is in regards to your cheekweld. Of course you need it to be consistent...

    Just go with the recoil. If you try too hard to hold the rifle down you will probably end up with a flinch as you anticipate the recoil from the shot, and you will be tensed up trying to hold the...

    the 243 is not a big recoil but it is loud, fit a muzzle brake and it gets louder but recoil is reduced

    Biggest thing, and Micky Duck already said it, is the rifle is not going to hurt you. Don't let the noise scare you, Don't let the recoil scare you, honestly it's a little 243. One thing that that...

    Get out and shoot more, rabbits and Goats are a good start. Recoil is all in the mind.
