Welcome Jim!!!

[Hawkmaster]

Ladies and gentlemen, it really gives me great pleasure in welcoming Jim to the realms of an IFF Sponsor!

Not just is he a real gent and helpful wealth of knowledge on the forum but he also makes cracking sheath to protect your hawks tail from damage.

Keep supporting Jim in this venture that started as a mere helpful service to other falconers and has steadily grown to become the most commonly purchased tail sheath in the world, I dare say?

Jim keeps improving the design and always keeps abreast of what the sheath is doing and here we can keep him more informed and give him more info and feedback on how the guards are performing in the field?

ONCE AGAIN JIM!!! Thank you for helping to keep the IFF online and may your business flourish from strength to strength.

Cheers the IFF Team

PS Ladies and gents and ex customers let see your tail sheath pictures?

[OutFlying]

Thanks Lee,
Can you post the photo of the tail sheath on your male gos ? Did you trim it down or keep the original length.

With the latest batch, I'll be varying the length by 1 cm increments to get an exact size match for any length of tail.

Yours Jim.

Jim, can you tell us the going price (probably best for most common sizes)?
What sort of tail mount do you need to use them? Pictures too please :D

I really enjoy this forum, I think supporting its members is well worth it!

£10 including postage.

They are mounted and free moving over the bell, will fit over the transmittter whilst fitted - no need to remove the transmitter whilst in the field or travel box.

Your male had a very long tail, glad it worked for you. As I saw for myself, no damage to the tail - even after 150+ kills and an imprint.

Jim.

[Hawkmaster]

Tell you all what is even more amazing is Jim does them for £10 and that is delivered to anywhere in the world too!:supz:

[Big JoeJoe]

I must say these tail sheaths are excellent, simply the best and very easy to use. Gladis finished the season with no tail damage.

Likewise but then I thought much better to see the condition of the tail after a hard seasons flying, than a picture of the sheath. Not the clearest picture but the only one I have at work, you can see the tips of the tail (taken mid Jan).

[Alf]

Although I did find I had to trim Jim’s tail sheath down a little as it was a tad long for my female spar. I have to admit I wouldn’t pick up any accipiter without one. Excellent nice and light easy enough to put on and the most important thing is they don’t come apart or fall off.
Worth every penny of a £10 . Alf.

[Ben C]

Excellent:

They are not only used on accipiters.

I have a feather perfect hawk in the moult because of one.

PS: They also make expensive but well received dog food.

[HoumaFalconer]

welcome and thank you jim

Thanks Alf,
With the latest batch I'm asking people the length of tailsheath required, by measuring from bell to the end of the tail feathers - this should provide an ideal fit. Otherwise I make a good judgement, which will always err on the side of caution and be slightly longer.


Yours Jim.

[Finnish]

Welcome Jim they really are good tail sheeths..:supz:

[Fawkes]

Do they require a tail bell, or do they work with only a tail mounted transmitter? I assume you need something tail mounted to make them work.
(never seen a tail guard used in the flesh, please excuse me if this is a silly question)

[OutFlying]

They fit over the bell for a fastening but will cover the transmitter if fitted at the time.

Have a look at the one fitted to the goshawk in the photographs.

Yours Jim.

Jim.........I have to say they are the best tail sheath I have ever used and if I need anymore you know you will get my order but I have 5 of them now and as they appear to be indestuctable (so long as Lee and BenC keep their dogs away from them) so it might be a while before you get another order from me :lol:
I would recomend any member who is taking up a Gos to get one from Jim before they get their bird they are simply the best

[OutFlying]

Back to black leather again, but a softer grade.

Jim.

[Hawkmaster]

http://www.falconryforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=25715
Do you have any pictures of the NEW ones Jim?

[OutFlying]

Paul,
They are still being sewn together, will post a photograph of one fitted once completed.

Jim.

[OutFlying]

Just a reminder to the people who have recently bought a tailsheath and haven't use it on their hawk yet.

To remove the tailsheath when fitted on the hawk, there's no need to undo the velcro - just squeeze the tailsheath (it then forms a tube shape) then pull it straight down, it will clear the bell or transmitter easily.

The only time you need to open up the tailsheath is when fitting it, this can be fitted with one hand quickly and effortlessly whilst on the glove or kill over the bell and transmitter (no need to remove transmitter).

The tailsheath is supplied without the bell opening being cut out, the shape is marked BUT you need to cut it out with a stanley knife to the indicated shape (as marked out on the leather section).

Yours Jim.


Photgraph below of tailsheath fitted whilst on a kill with transmitter still attached under the tail protecter.

Unfortunately I can't attend the festival but Pete (pendleside) will have the tailsheaths available at the festival. If the correct size is not available, he'll take details to enable me to make and post them on.


Pete called round tonight for new anklets to be fitted to his female gos which is going to be used at the festival, after having new anklets, 2 bell bewits, a tailmount and the beak coping :yawinkle: ( I love the small jobs) - he agreed to take some tailguards down for me, Ivy will be fitted with a tailguard that has done over 3 seasons use - the newer version is improved upon this design. Any queries see Pete at the Festival - short bloke, baseball cap and large female gos on his glove :supz:
