Imping And Equipment

[CrowHawker 227]

Seeing as gaz 89 is doing things the right way got me thinking my grandfather a long time ago taught me every aspect of falconry from jess making to AI!how many people make and use their own equipment? And also imping how many no how to do it? Just curious

I was taught the old way, I make all my own equipment and do any work needed myself, coping, imping, ringing the lot.

 

I shall spend the next 12 months teaching gaz the main parts that he needs to know, then as certain situation arse such as coping and impng them I shall teach them. The biggest thing with this sport is you never stop learning.

If I can make it myself I will, even made a tailmount the other day with a cut down .17hmr case riveted to the mount for the transmitter to go into, rather pleased with it, have not had a go at hoods or gloves yet but pretty much everything else I will make sod buying it if you can make it for a fraction of the cost.
