Hey guys and gals. Young bloke from VIC here, keen hunter and pistol shooter. I've been lurking long enough and wondered why I never got around to making an account.
I know its an introductory thread but I've got a quick question:
Anyone know why my safe seems to get smaller and smaller every year or so?

[Gwion]

stop washing it in hot water, mate.

Welcome.

[wantstogetmarried]

Hey, I just signed up because I saw the marriage equality thread.

I'm not a shooter, just interested in politics — even when it doesn't directly relate to me but especially when it does.

A couple of people pointed out that because I was a new member they weren't willing to discuss why they think I shouldn't be allowed to get married. Then the thread got locked. One person said I should visit the 'welcome' subforum so here I am. If anyone actually wants to know anything about marriage equality, DM me. Reason I'm doing this here is because I know shooters have an interest in politics, and I know that a lot of people in the LGBTQI community have a hard time telling the difference between a well intentioned question and passive aggression.

All I know about guns is that you can own one for hunting or going to a shooting range but that's it. So feel free to talk to me about that.

[Ex-Digger]

Hi all,

Looks like a great forum with heaps of information and active, passionate shooters.

I've been shooting on and off since I was a kid growing up in the 80's. Used to hunt with my dad when I was a kid, now just shoot at the range/clayground etc.

Probably keen to get back into hunting at some point in the future as I want my kids to experience what I did growing up.

Grew up in Vic, but been living in QLD since 2005. Have lived up in the far-north, but currently in SEQ.

Main interests apart from shooting are LAFO rights, camping and outdoors, beer, my family, beer, weekends, and beer.

Looking forward to contributing on here.

Cheers

[Oldbloke]

Back to hunting. It's the vibe.

[PaddyT]

G'day all, am a 49 year old bloke who is going through the process of getting back into hunting after last going in my very early 20's. I have a mate who is a very experienced hunter (originally from Sth Af) who is guiding me through parts of the process but will be back and forth for large parts of advice. Forum looks good. Have just sent of license application (NSW ) about a month ago so will be back for some advice on purchasing a centerfire soon Cheers

[Gwion]

Good luck with the whole sh'bang and

Good luck with the whole sh'bang and

+1 Back to hunting.

[Lifesaride]

I'm a 32 year old bloke who has only got into hunting in the last few years after moving back to SEQ to chase cattle.
Used to get out hunting with a few mates back down south, just to get out of the city and head to the range with them when I got the chance. These days love nothing better than chasing a few ferals whenever I get a few spare hours or the chance

[JonBarskio]

Hello, everyone! Newbie here. I'm glad to have found this great online hunting community. I'm hoping to learn more from the other members here. Cheers!

Good evening sir, and welcome.

G'day mate...

Coconuts eh...?!!
Your lucky...paddocks down here only have melons, & no matter what you shoot them with you cant see a hit...everything just goes straight through...!

I could shoot coconuts but cant afford them down here.
