artic 595 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 The quickset longnet. Can it be used for dropping at night? Sorry iv'e never used a longnet, have seen a few being used during the day. It looks like more and more people are using this traditional method. What would be the best set up? 50yd, 100yd, or 2 x 25yd? I see that most members on here have used the Net Loft. Is there a waiting time for these nets? Thank You. Quote Link to post

Start small and get used to running out on level ground in daylight I wound't worry about quicksets for the time being just get used to handling the net and avoiding tangles!!! and pegging out Quote Link to post

artic 595 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Thanks for the advice. Reference the yardage of the net, Salcalin did you mean 1x 25yd net or 2x 25yd net? I'm really interested in this method and i would like to use one on some land i have gained which has not been ruined and not worked on for years. Like some one has mentioned I will need to get use to setting it out before i go out and use it on the rabbits. Maybe someone can show me how these work. Thank you. Quote Link to post
salclalin 240 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Start off by getting used to Running out one 25yd net. When you feel ok with the Net by all means use two 25yd Nets together. Most places one 25yd Net would not be enough.Practice makes Perfect. Quote Link to post
Tiercel 6,986 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 It does not matter if you run out a 15yd net or a 25yd net or a 50yd net the proccess is just the same. The only difference is the time it takes to run the net out. It takes as long as it takes. Simples TC Quote Link to post

The only difference is the time it takes to run the net out. It takes as long as it takes. Simples TC Exactly! And buying 2 25yrd nets to practice is a money wasting exercise, Because within no time at all you will learn to run out a quickset with your eyes closed, And the 2 25yrd nets will be hung up in the shed after you buy a 100yrd net. If you were using a traditional, I would advise learning on something smaller like a 50yrd, But as Tiercel said, with a quickset, it makes no difference, just the time. Quicksets are simplicity itself. Quote Link to post
