About uk_exile
Biography:
I'm not british. Its a username only! I'm a kiwi, born here, lived here 29yrs then due to work moved to UK late 1990s. Returned to NZ 2003. It was while working in UK that I chose my online username for all online stuff and have kept it ever since. It's not because of any connections or loyalty to UK. Have only been back once to UK since 2003 as part of an european holiday. Can't say I hated UK but certainly disliked the lack of freedom & was just there for work. It simply wasn't me or my happy place.
Location:
Havelock/Linkwater or Ashburton Lakes

    Even if you are really really good at ranging using your eyes and reticle, in my would guestimate that you can do no better than within 20% margin of error on both side. That is, if you think the...

    Apparently, according to some of the Whangarei NRA club members, the Discovery scopes that you get off AliExpress are really good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hand sanitizer makes a great fire starter, innertube works well too, keep your clothing in plastic bags in your pack, and make sure you keep the toilet paper dry.
