djs7547 104 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 hi im from the outskirts of glasgow and im looking for advice on a lure machine for my 2 lurchers, it should be first noted that im not very mechanical minded, so making one myself may prove to be a real task lol. Basically i want to keep the dogs in good shape throughout the out of season months so any help would be greatly appreciated. the other area would be is does anyone know of any lurcher racing circuits in the scottish areas as i really do feel i have a bitch that would do well as to coursing she very rarely lets me down on all types of quarry. thank you for taking the time to read this any reply shall be well appreciated yours in coursing davie Quote Link to post

djs7547 104 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 thanks 4 all your help i will try and get something knocked up and let you know how i get on, half the reason for getting this is i stay right on the west highland way route which is nothin but woodland so quarry everywhere and im not into allowing the dogs chasing out of season only winter. i have a huge enclosed space surronded by a 12ft fence to prevent the out of season chasing of quarry but enough room to give the dogs a 6 -800 mtr run on the lure. i will get what i need asap , once again thanks for all your help anything else you advise me on would really help davie Quote Link to post
