Hey whoah Big Bob!

We're mostly steady types... though I suspect we like to stir up an argument as much as anyone!

Truth is I reckon, the average Aussie hunter that lives in the bush shoots many many animals over a lifetime, but in nearly every case we don't use a wide variety of cartridges.

So in one sense we have very deep levels of experience, but also quite narrow. By the time I was 18 I'd probably shot 5000 head of game, and 4000 of those would have been with the 308 Win. Probably 800 of the remaining would have been with the 222.

Certainly I've diversified a bit since then, especially the last 15 years.


So go easy on us down here in the Nanny State mate... smile We don't know everything, but we do know some stuff.
