Re: garmin collar protection
my dogs are putting them through the test, and it looks like the dogs are getting the best of it. The collars are only a month old but they look like they are a few years old. Wanted to know what you are doing to protect them from getting banged around? Would be nice to see a picture of yours to un...

Re: NA Test Tips
It isn't training at that age, it's called exposure. Coveyrise64 Jessie - That really nails what The NA is. Dog only has to point for 5-10 seconds and can break and chase. That shows the judges the dog has desire. They will ask you to call her back - that shows some cooperation. On the swim, she mu...

Re: New at reloading
Precision Reloading will send steel shot in a USPS flat rate package. With the cost of lead and the reduction in the weight per shell due to the density difference, I have found the shot cost about equal per shell. The cost of the special wads and powder can up the cost above regular lead shells. ht...

Re: Garmin Lesson #1
The collar's charge/use time is dependent on the update frequency that you set on the handheld. I want the most frequent updates to the handheld - and that uses more battery - I think 5 second updates off the top of my head is the fastest update time available. I get about 16 hrs during the Fall and...

Re: Garmin Lesson #1
Calibrate the compass each and every hunt - even if it's the same day. And remember to do it while not holding your shotgun or to spin it on the hood of the truck!DAMHIKT I took the lanyard and looped it through my strap vest and put in in my left shell pocket - easy to see when I need to and I don'...

That first 3-12 months is all about having fun. Getting the prey drive up and being excited to be in the field. I was told at my first training day, if your dog brings something back, great, if not get the bird so it doesn't develop a bad habit. I literally let the dog catch 1 bird that was live at ...
