If you feed and lightly water her before her morning run. Chances are you won't have to clean her crate when you get home. For the first year I cut back on the water when I knew I wouldn't be there. When around to let them out water was always full. From what I've read it takes 6 to 8 hrs for food t...

DT launchers are great I've got two and the only problem I've had was between my pea brain and the transmiter. (Human error)

I've been using barn pigeons for 2 years now. I just buy them before I train and there gone. From what I've read when you set up a loft for homers and go into the loft is when you can pick up a disease. That comes from the dust of the droppings. Then again all you have to do is keep it clean and wea...

Trash that's the last thing to worry about. If your like me think of all the chemicals under there. Don't forget the extension cords they'd be fun to play with.

Trained Sun 27th first bird he ran in like a mad man again. Launched and by by birdie. Next three held point and got three nice retrieves. Very windy again wish I could get a day with a lite breeze. At one point he ran into the wind and came within 20 feet of the bird I was ready to launch but he ra...

Trained again today. 4 birds total. First and last bird didn't hold point and launched. 2nd and 3rd held point so I walk up and flushed and shot and missed both birds he held point on. Can't a guy miss a shot any more and still be trusted

Trained today second time. With a total of seven birds in all. Last time six and the first one today Booker held point for 5 min on his very first bird today. At about 20yds out. Just wish I knew how to post a pict. Held point on the next 5 just as long. How long should I make him hold point? Should...

Went training on Sat. 6 birds and launcher in hand. First 4 birds are free after he hit the sent cone and did not go on point. We were about 30 or 40 yds out. He just stood there and watched them fly away. On the 5th and 6th bird it was a whole different story. Was very windy 15 mph plus didn't cros...

Well i picked up some birds yesterday and am ready to start. My plan is to bring him in on check cord. Cross wind about 30 or 40 yds out till he make sent and let him work it for a couple feet then release the bird. 2 birds only and call it a day. How long should I wait before our next try? Couple d...

Just wanted to say thanks again for all the replies. I will try each and every one if I have to. And will gladly liberate 1000 birds if that's what it takes. As I know he has what it takes because this was not always the case. He has held point at about 15 yards out and for as long as it took for me...

Hi I'm the guy with the problem. And you are all right. I created this and I think I know how. When he was 4 to 5 months I planted pigeons. When I did I put them to sleep. Not dizz them but to sleep which inturn aloud him to get on top of them. The only time he ever had a check cord on was when we w...

Mine is stamped USSG ROCKLEDGE, FL IMZ, RUSSIA if that helps.

Ayres Really didn't pay to much attention to that but looking at it 4mo later doesn't seam to sharp. I guess it could have wore some but the pattern is very good.

Bought one in 20 ga. Butt stock is even cast to the right some thing I did not know when I bought it. It has a selective triger that you push forward for top barrel first. Is pretty tight new but after one season it's coming around. Stock does not have the best finish but a couple coats of poly brin...
