Crow 1 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I really can't understand all this 'need for speed' when it comes to hunting In my opinion the so called 'quick set' system is cumbersome and noisy, and in any case the very name is somewhat of a misnomer! What the 'quick set' system is is easy. Any moron can do it - and that's why it's so popular! Crow Quote Link to post
J Darcy 5,871 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Nowhere near 25 years like you pal....but i have done a little.... i found setting the quickset very easy, and smooth. all points mentioned will have been thought out surely before entering the field. The wind and setting area will be known, not much need to look behind you more than once or twice as nearly all the time there will be something, wall, hedge, fence running parallel. never really got the nets tangled putting out, putting into the basket was a different matter and thistles became a pain (literally!)...and i always found the net smooth.... Im not THAT bothered about long netting, it not really my thing at the mo, though it does appear to be rather fashionable....i was only replying to a post that said it was quicker to set a traditional....thats all.... like i said before, does speed really matter? .... not really, but dropping a quickset in your average place can be done in no time, and i have done so on many occasions.... lets not make out the quickset system isnt easy, because it is easy IMHO. thats why its popular..... only one persons opinion....thats all... and please remember i was only refering to the quickset basket system.... cheers JD Quote Link to post
