Congrats.....

I work dogs twice a day, 15-30 mins each session and 6-7 days a week.

I use a semi auto 20ga for both NSTRA trials and grouse hunting. IMO a semi auto is a must have for NSTRA trials. Years ago I used a over and under 12ga for NSTRA trials and a few times missed the bird on the second shot, now I almost never give up a retrieve opportunity.

Thats awesome....... Very nice looking pointer.

I have been running Nstra field trials for over 10 years and have a few dogs along the way that were steady to wing and shot and have placed those dogs. We have a member that has been around longer then me, all his dog are steady to wing and shot, and he has place many times over the years. It may s...

I had a pointer female years ago that was a kennel licker. She would be covered in drool all the time. I would just give her a bath and she would be good as new. She was one heck of a trial dog.......

50 gal plastic trash cans. Have been doing this for over 10 yrs now. This is keep in my kennel building, never had any issues. I also store my quail feed this way.

Be sure to let us know how you did.......

Are you running in amateurs or open class? When I first started over 10 yrs ago there was only open class. I got schooled to say the least. First off go into NSTRA with a positive and low expectation attitude. It will take both you and your dog many braces to learn the game. Second most important bi...

Thanks for the info I went to Basss Pro Shop today to buy the Tri Tronics Sport Basic and they were sold out, so I got the manager to sell me the Sport Combo for the same price.......

I also am getting ready to buy a new e-collar and was looking at the Tri Tronic G3 Sport Basic E-Collar. Can anyone give me some feed back on this collar? How is the range and different levels of stimulation compared to other Tri Tronic models? I understand it has a 1/2 mile range and the others has...
