Here’s a pic with a garden fork for scale

[Band life]

i use dankung precise 0.8 very happy with it ,not as stretchy as tbg but lasts well

[25yrd head shot.]

Good shooting

[5 month old Cocker chasing low flying birds]

As above......mine would chase at that age but now at eleven months she has learned that it’s a waste of time and not acceptable behaviour....now hares that’s a different story lol

When you are training it train it to hunt close to you as it’s easy to get it to hunt at a distance when it’s trained but not the other way around

Does using them alongside lurchers affect the gun work ?

They know the score after a few trips out.   My last one hunted close when I;the beating line but hunted alongside the lurchers when out mooching

[Spaniels]

I have always had cockers.....they work with the lurches and also beat on the shoot.....they will never win a field trial but do ok at both

[Starting up.]

As above

all the ones above are good.....try a few.   I like all three but the scout is my favorite

[Duck tubes]

These work really well we put seven out and all seven were used

some on poles ,others in trees on the islands

[Recommendations for bands]

I use precise 0.8mm ,wouldn't go back to theraband gold

[Braid]

I use braid.  I don’t use a mono leader

I got a pocket predator Hathcock sniper (cheesey f***ing name). Flat bands. All I want to do is practice with it but I get 3-4 shots and you can tell it’s losing power. I’ll just wait til it warms up. Hopefully not too long here

I,ve got one as well    one of my favorites

 

[Cocker pups]

Loads on the Facebook sites....pups part trained

the shooting and bushing are two different disciplines but it will realise in time

i,ve just got a cocker pup for the same job....

Lovely saluki that

Don’t be daft.    Everyone knows Salukis don’t retrieve

[Real un]

heres it retrieving a honey badgers testicle....why bother retrieving the whole carcase ,this strain of dog just retrieves the vital bits

[Real un]

I might be interested ,this bitch of mine is iron hard....absolutely no reverse gear

generation after generation ,tested to the hilt.....dating back to the run of the century     The ancestors of this dog fought bloody battles on the streets battling bulls and bears 

what I need now is an out cross because that dogs a lovely colour and the pups would sell well on pets r us

[Holidays next year.]

I have used twin bands before found that single was better for me with a light pouch, it was more accurate

to be honest. Single with a light pouch is fast enough for hunting

i, m no expert but I think double would be better for bigger ammo. 12 mm lead etc 

[Lost dog]

Good news

[Power]

The bands on the pic will go straight in and out of a beer can at 10 metres. 

I use 9.5 steel         Just get the band length right and practise

[Power]

mine is about 6 inches for theraband but 7 for precise #the theraband is a bit more strechy so I cut it shorter

I always thought I needed to divide by 5

depends on what bands you are using

[Power]

as greyman says  ..work out how long the bands need to be ...they might need cutting down a bit ..

then keep practising

[Power]

How wide are your bands?

are they too long  ie.   can you pull them much further back than your normal draw ngth

[At stud]

If only you were closer
