Hmmmmm... Josh - a thought or two from a veteran. :) 60+ years since I shot my first animal. No idea how many taken since then, plus years of competitive shooting. Am quite often helping new...

I agree - when I was doing bush hunting every fine day working I always carried my rifle on half cock and watched where my hand was - if one was not ready to shoot very quickly then one would have...

I have spotted a lot of game during the day with mine that I wouldn't have seen otherwise.

Unfortunately firearms owners aren't united. We saw this loud and clear during the buyback with groups such as the NZDA jumping on the "black rifles bad" bandwagon. A few people with cooler heads...

'Half Cock' is NZ Fudd Lore. The saying 'don't go off half-cocked' is there for a reason. None of the modern cock on open actions (Howa, Tikka, Sako, Rem700 and clones) recieve any benefit from...

Not sure why people can't load and unload a rifle safely without a safety on?? Just keep your finger away from the trigger.

I think the 1/2 cock was a "thing" when every man and his dog used old milsurp 303's which cock I believe on closing. Your primary safety is your trigger finger and muzzle direction awareness...

Safety on the Finnwolf, half-cock on ‘cocking on closing’ bolt actions and again safety on semi auto and pump actions Always follow the standard rules especially the safe direction one.
