Accuracy Of The Red B&f Box

[pollypocket 244]

I got the new bellman and flint box last year and would like to know if anybody else has problems with its accuracy as more times than enough i have dug in to the side of the run or even past. I then borrowed the pieps box and worked out spot on every time.

For the price i had expected better.

I've just bought this new setup this week and hope it's spot on for the price. Was considering the pieps box with rechargeable collar but went for the new box

My pals use it with no probs and I've used it too but again read a few reviews stating the above..

You get the same problem with the pieps, I've had it a few times, the only advice would be to dig a wider hole.

The pieps box can be sometimes out a small bit the closer you get to the dog it can give the same reading in various locations which is slightly annoying but used along side a t bar you should never miss a dog itll usually only be a matter of inches. Too be honest it suits me down to ground and everyone gets used to their own individual box how exact do we really need it.Its not a bad thing to occasionly use your brain as well as the box. To much accuracy would take alot of the fun out of it for some as seeing it would only be a matter of inches.

It is good to use the old brain once in a while..its because of how regular that it happens and price of the thing...still wouldnt be without it on large fox burrows as it does save a lot of time.. cant allways depend on my terriers to make noise..lol

never had any problems with mine always bang on just make sure u make a big enough hole and u will land on dog every time

No good when your in thick roots, you want to cut and chop in the iChat place, the pieps box does my head in, same reading if you move a good foot!

Even the shallowest hole ive dug has been 3 foot wide or thereabouts, cant imagine one of these boxes being that far out I wouldnt drop on where id want to be?

Iv used pieps and new box and can't fault either to be honest. ..We always carry a t bar for piece of mind and the bar also allows some air in.

If the holes big enough a couple inches shouldn't mean you have to trench on if the dogs up tight where it's supposed to be...

I prefer the pieps but only due to size. .Both used correctly will locate your dog.

How ever did we manage years ago,I'll tell you ,a t bar and your ears and a dog wth a good voice,and when you were sure the game was bottled up then you dug,gave your dog time to work,dug a big enough hole to work in,and got on,the b&f locators are a good thing nowadays and locators have changed terrier work .

Remember it all well P everyone being told to shut up while you were listening, even the hounds being held back used to keep quiet

A lot of people will miss the tube when digging on banks, start a little higher than your mark, B&F will 2nd that

very true, there's pros n cons on both although I always prefare the boxes, but I think it's created a more hardier terrier type nowadays who wants to mix it more. Bayers any day for me
