Day 12.... out on the creance for the first time this evening, straight in from 10,20 then 40 meters.

how long till the line comes off ? (first bird )...

 

any advice appreciated.....

If it's responding instantly at that distance I wouldn't hang about on the creance, get him off and get him hunting.

hi jrb, its up to you mate when you fly your bird free. you should know how your bird is responding if your putting your glove up and he is coming straight away he is not far off ready, but its up to you if you feel confident in letting it go free ,then do it, but if there is something thats telling you not to fly it free then dont. take your time and you will be ok, dont be rushed by anybody telling you when to fly him free its up to you and you only. when the time is right you will know. keep us up to date with his progress mate and good look.

Thanks for the advice, been out again today and he came in twice perfectly. I think we'll give him another couple of goes this week, drop his weight a tiny bit, then the line will be off next weekend........

 

... just add , the bird is my sons first bird and watching him sitting in the weathering and each little progression in the birds training is absolutely priceless !
