Oh by the way, how's the waggler going?


You should be able to get up here in the Vee Dubb for around about ???? $1-35 worth of fuel. :lol: :lol:

Haven't actually used the waggler itself yet,, as I'm mostly in the dark and just trying out the various calls on it.
One afternoon I'll maybe try just for foxes because a dog would probly be too suss of scent on it, and I'm not gonna leave it out
there for a couple of weeks. :thumbsdown:
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!

Can i ask about the new wind meter...

I got it from Jaycar, it's a DIGITECH QM-1646 Hand held Anemometer.
It's much more accurate and will pick up faint breezes where as the other one didn't even register, which is important for long range stuff where a slight breeze can cause a complete miss.
I don't use the average setting , I use the max velocity setting , then i set the turrets at a particular wind reading and keep an eye on the meter and wait till the reading matches the turret adjustments again and touch off.
It works well for me ....just ask that cat. :lol:
By the way, how's the r/f going?

Thanks for that... :)
Looks good for the price...
Another toy i want...but ill just have to put up with my old one for now...

And what is the "r/f"...?... :unknown:

:oops: :lol:Range finder, sorry mate I had a seniors moment...i sold it to someone else. :roll:
