turk 79 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Just curious what do you lads prefer to use for tail mounts a plectrum or a single tube on 1 tail feather be nice to see some pics of the way you guys do it I had probs in the past with the single tube ripping feathers out perhaps I was unlucky Quote Link to post
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Single tube for me, just dont like the look of the plectrums, not very discreet Quote Link to post
charlie caller 3,654 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Plectrum for me, I make my own out of curved plastic from a motorbike mudguard and a cut down .17 hmr shell case, pop riveted and glued on, nice and light, I like to fit a tail bell as well as the transmitter and just cant help feeling that it is just a little too much weight ror one feather to support, but I could be wrong of course, each to their own way. 1 Quote Link to post

If i was to use transmitter and anda bell on the tail i would use a plectrum but i leg mount the bell and tail mount the transmitter and just prefer the neater finish of the single tube, any pics of yours?

RIOHH 30 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I always use plectrums that I make myself, havnt got any pics but will get gaz to take sum when he comes over at the weekend. Always put a bell on the tail at least and sometimes leg aswell, the reason for this is we fly where there is a lot of cover and a lot of streams, if the birds hits a water hen or duck in the stream you cant hear the leg bell ring under water but if it is shallow enough you can still hear a tail bell.
