    thejamesjames liked post by 7mm Rem Mag On thread : 223 on deer
    First time out for ages, got out of the truck at 6.10pm and started a hasty walk across the first paddock. I looked up in the distance and saw some sheep grazing on this side of the fence but also...

    Just back from a couple of nights away. I forgot how important shot placement is . I fouled up my first deer. Gutshot it and put a second through the shoulder all at 60 odd yds with all the time in...

    I found a knife hidden away in a box of tools I inherited recently from a clean out my grandfather had. Upon further inspection (it was quite rusty, forgot to get proper before photos, oops) it...

    thejamesjames liked post by SixtyTen On thread : To many oldies and to few young people.
    I think it's largely a case of many of these clubs having an extremely poor online presence. The amount of experienced shooters that I run into with absolutely no knowledge of who the various local...

    thejamesjames liked post by gimp On thread : Has the price of cartridges gone up?.
    The reloading equipment I actually use would cost $2,260 to replace. If you shoot a reasonable volume, saving even just $1-2 per round doesn't take long to cover that cost. This doesn't...

    I spent a lot of time in the Tararuas as a young fella - tough country, very few deer, but a great training ground. My wife and I headed South for a holiday near Otaki Forks area, and a short...

    Exactly. Context is everything. Do whatever. What I am and need to be now is not necessarily what I was and would love to be able to do again. But I cant. So long as I can draw breath I will keep...
