ok mate - i,ll keep at it .
what verbal command do you use for directions L/R , if the dog is sat/stopped at a distance , when he may not be able to pick out just your hand signals -- what do you shout .

cheers NTTF -- Tried it out yesterday , very difficult , trying to get jack to leave me and hunt out when he,s got a slip on .
The best i could manage was to have him on the long slip , get his attention with the 2 pips and try and point him at the exact same time in the direction left , blow 2 pips then point right , it was a bit confusing for him , i think .
which verbal command do/should i use , as i use " get out " when i want him to go back a distance , but what do i use as a command when i point in the left or right directions , i never used any , but i want to start using one now , so he can associate the two together .
Dan -- is there a way i can practice this , with out a lead on .
thanks for your time .

Well done Rob , a similar thing happened to me , we had a small inter-club comp , any thing goes .22 .20 .177 etc . pcp and springers .
And guess what !!!!!!!!!! my HW97 .177 , won it hands down .
The only catch was , it was my mate who was shooting it :*) and sadly not me , just goes to show , the man behind the trigger makes all the difference
-
The reason i had just the one barrel done , was that i can hit most things with half choke , so thought i,d double my chances by having two of them
.monkey -- if old roosters offering mate , and your any where near him , worth thinking about .

hi NTTF -- I have,nt taught him either mate :*) , all i have been doing is to point and encourage him to scent round hedge bottoms etc as where walking along and telling him , "lost , lost " and when he gets too far in front , 1 pip on the turn whistle will usually turn him .
The problem is he leaves my contact and shoots ahead too far too quick , if he finds no scent , instead of keeping hunting slow and steady at a walking pace .
so i use to turn whislte alot , sometimes it works the total opposite way round where he does,nt leave my side to hunt , because he knows i,m for ever calling him back/turning .
i,ve not done any left or rights at all .
can you give me the programmes for both . thanks Dan .
all the best

hi mate -- i,ve just had my AYA no 3 left barrel taken out from full to tight half , the chokes are now 1/2 and tight 1/2 and it made all the difference ( to my confidence anyway ).
it cost £30 . i,m pleased .

right
quarter on the whistle .just run that by me again please mate .

Jack ( lab ) is coming on nicely , he'll go any where and retrieve any thing , his nose is like a heat ( scent ) seeking missile, cant complain .
EXCEPT - when i,m working him , he starts off close to me , but then the distance grows and grows and i am for ever calling him back .
SO - how do i get him to stay closer to me when hunting .
-
still looking
-
Any one got the above breed cross , do you really get the best of both , what are your opinions .
thanks
Darren .

i went lamping last night , first time for a long while , got myself 5 nice 3/4 bunnies.
i was amazed to see still a lot of young un,s ( 1/4 grown ) running around ( which i will leave till later
).Any way it was a good session ( for me any way ) , approx 1 1/2 hours , the only down side was the first bunny , i took the shot at about 30 yards and heard the wack as it impacted into the bunnies shoulder
damn it , i had underestimated the breeze cutting across the field .The bunny did,nt move and just sat there , so i carefully lined up for another shot , second shot went right through the left eye ( i saw this through the scope ).
Horrors of horrors as i realised that the rabbit was still alive and started hoping around , 3rd shot was needed and he fliped and died .
i felt terrible and could,nt beleave this had happened :*) , the rest of the session went great , 1 shot 1 kill .
the gun works perfect , the power is bang on the limit , and i am normally a v. good shot , this was all human error sadley.
What i want to ask is , this is the first time i have after placing a head shot that the bunny as not gone down instantly.
As this happened to any one else
