j j m 6,483 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 get your mate to try dragging a dead maggie and see if she will fly off the fist on to it Quote Link to post
arcticgun 4,548 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 dead carcass and lure feeding up should do it mate, however its late in season now and quarries faster could be problematic, I introduced ground game to my gyr saker first , when I tried to switch to ariel game its been much harder for him with them being into the season sort of missed the entering window, frustrating best of luck mate 2 Quote Link to post

stoaty1 35 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hello there carcass feeding will show her that they are food but u may want to try putting the carcass on a line and throwing it over a branch. Get a mate to slowly bounce up and down abit so she takes it in the air. That way she used to stuff thats flying. Where abouts in shropshire r u Regards ian Quote Link to post

How come you went with a parent reared spar mate? Brave choice wit such tight weight control. regards ian 1 Quote Link to post

j j m 6,483 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 what weight are you flying her at at the moment bud,ive flew a few spars over the years and it can be that little bit of weight dropped that does the trick,you have a little more weight to play with with the female then you do with the male good luck let uss know how you get on Quote Link to post
