Big Game

When aiming your rifle,
Take care to evaluate,
Your surroundings,
Before you disengage,
The safety,
A .22 calibre bullet,
Can travel,
A mile and a half,
And still be lethal,
So make sure,
The area is clear before,
You disengage the safety,
Make sure to aim for centre mass,
And adjust for wind,
Before you,
Disengage the safety,
As an error,
Of just a few degrees,
Off target can result,
In a wounding shot,
Rather than a kill,
Which is unnessecary,
Inefficient,
And traumatic,
For the target,
Or worse,
A miss,
Before you disengage,
The safety,
Nestle the butt of the stock,
Against your shoulder,
But not your arm,
Which can result in injury,
Breathe through your stomach,
Let your body relax,
Look through the sight,
Aligning the bead,
On the barrel's tip,
With the notch,
Just in front,
Of the bolt,
Before you,
Disengage the safety,
Make sure,
Take care,
Your target should be,
Completely unaware,
Of your presence,
The snap of a twig,
The rustle of a single leaf,
Can stand between you,
And a successful kill,
You've been watching,
And waiting for days,
Forever,
For him,
Be still,
Breathe,
Aim,
For the heart and,
Disengage
The
Safety.
