    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...

    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.

    Ultimately we will have to follow the law of the land in order to keep our FAL holder status. I have spoken to gun shop that saw a surge before the register kicked off and now have much lower sales...

    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...

    If your firearm has a half cock feel free to use it. But don't try and convince me this bolt half closed bullshit is a half cock. It is not. Your M70 is a cock on open action. It's fully cocked as...

    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.
