wing on a string, con`t

Post by snips » Fri Jun 16, 2006 6:18 pm

I used to use a WalMart bag on a pole. Works good; if not better. If they can`t catch it they should eventually point it. If they never give up the chase I am not worried. Real birds is where it counts, and they are better for them... :idea:

snips, you can also use your white wal mart bags when you are teaching backing. i found my pointer backing a walmart sack caught on barb wire, i had not thought about using a macy's bag to bring out more style.

If you want style you'll need to use a Abercrombie and Finch bag,but for a smart pointer you should use a Cabela's bag.T-hee LOL

V.S. bags bring up a really high/proud tail set. Like 12-o-clock! :lol:

But the girls wiggle their hips too much pointing the V.S. bags.

And they just want to "charge" the Nordstrom's bags!
