  8. She is an imprint, as for method fed by hand not a dish flown to fist not to lure thats about it cant really say to much as every bird is different but that method worked well for me some people do it different which works well for them.

    Tail Guards

    Ok Jasper cheers the other thing that I have found out is if it gets wet it tends to mark the feathers with an orange sort of colour but that must of been the coating

  14. Derek I am not getting involved its between you and him but get the story straight first. I dont care if you are a convicted egg thief good luck to you but Im not going to let somebody abuse the system by not telling the full story. This info is only trying to clear your name you dont care about anyone else your just trying to get one over on Neil Hunter as he was the one person that was a witness against you and a police officer at the time.

    bow

    At the end of the day there are some good bows and some bad bows, you have only got to look at the bows they use in the USA they are some funny shape's but do they get birds that get tangled?

    bow

    This is one of the projects you just got to experiment with this is when I come up with more ideas to try and then I make another one and modify that

    bow

    the problem here is this will defeat of the object of having a Indoor Bow by adding perminant spikes . I had this in the past with bows and used long tent pegs or caravan awning pegs to pin the bow down. The other option DAZ seeing that this is composite piping is you could drill the end of each foot to allow you to push a spike through incase you need it, I think I mentioned to you about a real old Bow I have here with flat plates for feet! I just blasted a good drill bit throgh the feet to allow me to pin it... Jasper I made 1 with flat steel before instead of tube all I done

    bow

    Tell me about it mate I have some crazy ideas. but like I say this is the problem I have found with them you may not get that trouble
  22. SPAR

    bow

    D.A.Z great stuff mate have you got spikes or something on the bottom of the bow ? The reason I ask is Im not knocking your workmanship, you have done a good job dont get me wrong but I have made a few bows like these and the problem I have found is no matter how much weight I have put in the tubes the bird always ends up dragging it around the garden, all I done is got some 10mm bar and cut it in to 3"-4"lenths and welded 1 to each end of the tube so it digs into the ground. GREAT JOB
