Thanks for letting us share in your excitment and achievements Bec, it is great to be reminded of my own feelings when my Dad first taught me to shoot on the farm back in the mid 50′s.

After a lot of his teaching, plenty of practice and a few bunnies for the pot Dad said to me “OK, I want you to shoot this twig out of the tree”, took me back about 40 yards and handed me the Lithgow single shot, open sighted .22 rifle. I aimed and fired and almost unbelievably (to me anyway), shot the twig out of the tree.

I will never forget the huge smile he had when he handed me a new box of ammo and a Rogers bunny knife, telling me the rifle was mine and from that day on I was responsible for bringing in the weekly rabbits for dinner.

Great post indeed.

I can so relate to the bank balance being in severe danger, it is so easy to get carried away in a good gun shot and spend “just that little bit more”.
