Bloody hell mate, you mean the pin feathers? I'm not sure what you mean by putting them in the beak.

i got told you take the pin feathers out and split the beak and put them init or something like that so you can put it in your hat

[Guest Macnas]

So now there's a hat involved?? This just gets more complicated by the minute this does!

lol forget the hat at the moment then lol

[Guest Macnas]

Only codding mate.

 

But I've never heard of the beak being involved before, as far as I know the pin feathers are tucked inside the headband of a hat.

 

That's assuming your hat does indeed have a head band.

Which is where you get the saying a feather in your cap So i am told

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

That's where the saying ~ as far as I know ~ comes from alright. A fine stitch or - in this day and age - a spot of 'Super Glue - should sort it though, surely? Never heard about a beak being involved either. Love to learn though. Weird!

i found out to do it u cut about 60mm of the top beak off and in the middle thiers a soft bit gentley push the pin feathers in that and then you have a little mount for them lol

Hello like this.

.

It's quite easy realy & no glue needed.Pick the pin feathers & keep them in order ie right-side & left-side.Once done cut the beak 25/30mm & from the the birds right hand pin goes into its right sude of the beak & push it in 4-5mm & let it dry.

That's a new one on me too, but it seems to look ok and make an interesting mount for the pins. Nice one!

thats it spot on

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

Bloody Brilliant! Cheers, V Max! Never heard of that before (Not that I've had a lot to do with people who'd be likely to shoot 'Cocks)

 

I wonder what posessed the man who first came up with that idea? Imagine sitting there and thinking; 'I wonder? If I cut the end of the buggers beak off .....'

 

Great stuff, anyway. And now I Have learned something

[Guest Macnas]

I'll be out after woodcock tomorrow morning (if it doesn't totally piss down with rain), so we'll see what we'll see. I know they're about, just a case of finding them.

 

Vmax, good man yourself, you've made sureshot's mind rest easy and the rest of us, as Ditch says, learned something new.
