Hi Griff
Do you have any pics & what do you consider the reason for using them is better than a trad lure<BTW> remember getting some gear off me from ebay in the autumn that you were really pleased with?

Hi Julian

basically I am **** with the swung lure....BUT..... I found that with the pole lure you could watch the falcon come in (rather than concentrate on hanging the swung lure) and also you could watch the follow through and the attack and really make her work (not that u cant with a swung lure) it just suits me better. U cant do the vertical easily but its a knack.

I will always use it from now on as I just luv having the "time" to see her come in to it and just teasing her till the last moment :)


I cant remember what I purchased from you? If you need a hood u know where to come :)

Hi Griff , what's your set up l;ike , does it have a bit of bungie elastic
or what do you have any pics you can upload. As agame hawker I dont as a rule swing the lure but I do use a stick/ pole with a notch in it when I am teaching a ayoung hawk to catch a lure in the air for the1st time whilst keeping it away from my body
cant remember what I sold you either but you left some damm good feedback I remember as I visited your site straight after( could have been telemtry bag amongst other things?
