  1. Where did you order them from in the states?
  2. Impressive knives there John.
  3. Hello everyone, I'm Danny, age 28, currently living in Adelaide (southern suburbs). Its been about 10 years since I was last shooting, but I've got my license application in and I plan on getting back into the sport. I'm looking to get into pest/feral extermination with a focus on the rabbit & goat shooting as I enjoyed so much in my youth. (The back story). I grew up in the Riverland on 30 acres of citrus, so there were always rabbits & sparrows to shoot. My Dad was very into shooting and I developed the interest from him. Apart from shooting rabbits around the block we did a lot of goat shooting with family and friends on stations. I had a lot of fun shooting, but I have never been interested in trophies as such. My interest has always been in pest extermination, and the marksmanship of getting clean kills via a head shot so the carcase could be eaten. I always got high marks in the Air Training Corp rifle range events. Back in the day the weapons of choice were a Ruger 10/22 for rabbits & a 243 for larger prey. My goal was to buy a Ruger Mini-14 (223 semi auto in a matt stainless finish) when I was old enough to get a firearms license. Unfortunately there was a very sad event that happened in Tasmania which stopped this and reformed the Australian firearms laws. Combined with going to Uni in Adelaide & the change of scenery/life style/accommodation I disregarded gun ownership for quiet a while. (The present). My best mate & oldest friend has recently had the offer of shooting goats on a station up north & he is working to get the invite extended to me. So now seems like the time to get back into the world of shooting. I’m also looking to get involved in which ever organisation is invited into the national parks to cull feral animals. I believe it’s the SSAA (of which I am now a member) but if anyone has any more information or contacts I would welcome them. I’m also looking into future firearms purchases, but it will require some research before I rush in. A good 22 & maybe a 243 are looking the business. As always thou I'm open to suggestion. Hope you enjoyed the story & I look forward to getting to know you all. Danny
