A special note from the NZ and Norsewood Police on gun safety when hunting
Please remember to:

Treat every firearm as LOADED

Always point firearms in a safe direction

Identify you target beyond all doubt

Check your firing zone – Ask yourself
“What could happen if I miss my target!!!”

Be aware of what could be hit in the area between you and your target, AND in the area
beyond your target, should you miss hitting your target.
Eg: The range for a .22 rimfire projectile could be as much as 1.5 kilometres
