lure coursing machines

[iddles 0]

hi everyone im new to the site and its top!

anyway i built a lure coursing machine for me and my father in law using a heater motor from a mondeo, some old nylon 6oz from net making and an old rag. works a treat apart from in the wet it a bit slow then but my dog cant keep with it in the dry. its variable speed and light weight.

i will post some pics and vids soon any info or anybody else built one lets have a look and get some tips of each other.

nice one mate look forward to photos as i will bwe building one soon.

 

the only thing i can see slowing it down is the rag as it may be collecting water and becoming heaver, have you tried another material maybe plastic bags???

 

 

w.h

what do you need to make one very intrested

yeah we have tried plastic bags and we found that the bag tends to go skywards and bounce about. im trying to simulate a running rabbit and my dog and my father in laws dont get fooled by that. unfourtunately!!!!!!

we are going to try a combo next plastic bag and small bits of rag to get them to go.

 

the good thing is that where as the mini starter motor idea works well its heavy unlike ours and it runs on a smaller battery easy to move.

When we are simulating couring or just simply racing we use a fox tail ,goes like stink and does not drag.

hi snoop doggy dog first of all nice to speak to you or with you.

we all have your own views and mine is this

my dog does take live quarry, i shoot rabbits, i want to start ferrering. So im not frightened to kill anything however with work commitments (i work funny shifts) i cant always take my dog out lamping so i use this just to keep the dog fit and agile.

and besides its a good laugh and you can do it without the police bothering you.

nice to speak to you to iddles ....but if you have time to set a lure machine up ...you have time to run few bunnies anyway all the best mate what ever you choose to hunt wether it be plastic bags or bunnies ..aslong as you are happy and just a question mate why would the police bother you for chasing bunnies ......unless you havent heard......... its legal

cheers snoopy

have you ever been lure coursing or owned a machine for doing it! if you have then you would know that it takes 2 mins to set up as apposed to an 1hr walk to catch connies.

still for everone who is interested in the machine then PM me and i will write up some instructions and take some detailled shots when i can get my camera working properly

like i said before i will post some images on here too.
