bullet tooth tony Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Well done Did you have many get away? The net looks a little tight I went long netting when I was younger. Had the best time ever standing at the net waiting for action. Would love to go again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wifes not to pleased with the kids for cutting up her curtain pole to make clubs out of What length are the poles in ur net Slipster? They look a bit on the high side to me. If u had a shorter stick u would have more bag in your net and it would be more effective imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipster Posted April 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Poles about three foot long 6" in the ground I see what you mean but the pic is a bit decieving the net was looser than it looks its four feet wide over three feet poles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnskevena Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 When u say the net is four feet wide do u mean it is 12 meshes deep? I set my nets on 30 inch pegs and that includes the bit that goes in the ground and they are 15 meshes deep with the pegs spaced 5 yards apart and i find it deadly on the rabbits.Very few come out of it once entangled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
