sizing it all down to the hood maker but the principle is the same as a hood goes up 2% everytime ,what ever way the advertise them is upto them .i live nr steve and he does make a really nice fitting hood not all tassles and bells on them but fit is so important
-
hi mate re the hood my mentor terry got me 1 from steve halsall and its amazing goes on straight away no messing about fits well and looks good! i will have a look at kens hoods as im slowly building up a collection! have had a look at kens hoods and gotta say they do look vey good! atb mate stu steve is a great guy and i know him well,i would also recommend steves hoods also

you dont use roo for hood making ( well u can but not in the main ) you use kip thats not expencive and holds it shape great
-
Cos roo is far more supple and far stronger. Lip is not ideal for jessies ect,its more suited for hood making
-
no sign of roo there fella here is jeremy law http://www.kangarooleather.co.uk/

Jeremney law in google works well lol Kip is for hood making

Lol he bought my dutch blocks of me ,what type u ordered as I say a dutch is better for falcons .also use a hood protector to keep its shape as once its been nelt on or mis shaped it needs to be re shaped ,u get what u pay for in a hood . People pay good money on a bird then get a hood of eBay for a tenner ,not aimed at you but in general

totally disagree with that comment,hooding a bird make life alot better ,bird is calm while weight,when moving the bird if by any chance the leash slips out out hand and it can and does happen the bird cant bait and fly of with all its furniture on,travelling you dont need giant boxes in the vehicle just a cadge if moveing more than one or a bow pirch ,there are far far more plus points in hooding a bird than not to

hood every bird except owls lol , u must be getting the size wrong there is to ways and a good hoodmaker like ken hooke will always replace if it dont fit1st way is the give the hoodmaker its weight 2nd is to give a behind the eye measurement a good hood maker will normally be 1 size out and can never state to get it right first time ,what type of hood are u using on your harris i would recommend a anglo rather than a ductch because of the head shape ,a dutch suites a falcon more in my opinion .a good fitting hood should have no gaps at all no matter how small arouns the cere ,not be tigh

-
I know that but gives u a better chance of catching it.u can get anti chew ones they never get through
-
little tip if he is a chewer on his leash use a braided one made out of para cord ,
-
why put it in a box mate what wrong with hood and a cadge, dont see the point in putting a scatty bird in a box where its going to kick off
-
why u need a leg mount ,if you got a marshal and u got a tail mount trans that be fine
