    Yup. SUPER safe in UK now.........



    Also slightly off topic. There is something on the "Target" consumer programme this week, about gun shops.
    Might be worth a giggle.

    What are they going to do? Try to see if they can get firearms or ammo without a licence?

    What day and time is it on?

    Proud Dad warning

    Took little Mr 7 (Ruben) rabbit shooting for the first time over the w/e... a father and son thing. I was in charge of pulling the trigger - he's on spotlight.

    Little bugger has the beam of light flying back and forth at a hundred miles an hour - I'm hoping and praying for anything to show up in the light so I can show him what to look for - in the hope he'll take it easy with the light and get into a reasonable search pattern.

    Bugger me I hear "Dad - there's 2 over there, and another 3 over there". He was right too - stuffed if I saw them but then he's the one in charge of the (high speed) light...

    Dropped one and went over to recover it when he mentioned it was sad they had to be shot. No tears, but a respect for the animal which I have to say pleased me no end. We packed it in at that point. It was cold (for him), well past his bedtime and we'd had a good night walking under the stars.

    Bloody awesome. I doubt I'll forget Saturday night for a long long time.

    Anyhoo - as you were!

    Never let your enemy see your emotions, for it is the one weapon they will value most.

    Just do it mate, You wont regret it for a minute. Last year the prize for the farhest traveled entrent and the oldest went to a guy from auckland, 65 years old and rode from Auckland to Christchurch on an XR600, he only make it to christchurch because the vibration got to him and he borrowed a car from there. The year before the prize went to a team from the US Marines.
    they didn't do very well either just quietly.

    You are a fucken legend
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Do you have to use steel shot or normal shot for the bunny hunt?

    you can still use lead on bunnies unless you are trying to decoy them onto your pond.

    I'll have my .22, Im better with it than a shotgun. Of course hitting a sprinting bunny with it might still be a problem

    What size shot would you be thinking using.

    What range will you be firing from.

    If it was me I would be looking at #4 or #5 shot as it has a little bit more striking power and range than #7.

    Better a miss than a wound. Better to be able reach out that little further. All it means is that you will have to be a bit more accurate.
