Dummy Launcher with Green Dummy

Thu, 24 May 2012 16:28:28 GMT

This handy traditional dummy launcher trains your dog to work to the sound of shooting in a controlled environment. Ideal for young dogs still getting used to the sound of gunfire, the dummy launcher simulates a simplified shooting situation.

The coincidence of a falling dummy and the sound of a shot is a good learning experience for trainee gundogs, and the distance of the shot can be varied by different .22 rimfire blank lengths, ranging from short distance, medium and long distance.

Dummy launchers are easy to operate and are issued with full user instructions.

Clubman Deluxe with Lithium Ion Battery Powerpack

Thu, 17 May 2012 14:55:47 GMT

The Clubman Deluxe kit is a complete package for lamping foxes and rabbits. The kit is made up of an LA2 Head Unit which carries two lights, a one million candle power lamp and a secondary torch strength bulb, along with a compact, lightweight Lithium ion battery.

The battery is enclosed in a plastic case with a carry handle, as seen in our Plastic Case Battery Pack. Lithium ion batteries last longer than traditional sealed lead batteries, and they are also much lighter. The Lithium battery in this model of the Clubman is just over a third of the weight of the original batteries.

The kit also includes a handle for the lamp and a shoulder strap to make it easier to carry the battery. The battery housing has a clip so that the handle can be slotted into it, turning the entire product into a large and easily operated traditional torch (see main photograph, right)

The on/off switch is located on the back of the lamp, making it easy to reach with your thumb, and the three different settings (lamp, off, torch) are easily interchangeable.

The unit is sealed and waterproof, and there are a range of coloured filters available. For compatability, see our filter chart.

This lamp comes with a one year guarantee.

Side Mounted Nipple

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 13:38:23 GMT

Unlike traditional drinker nipples, these horizontal nipples are spring loaded so that they work without a gravitational pull. The action of the bird's pecking wobbles the spring, which releases drops of water either into the bird's beak or down into the moulded drip guard beneath the nipple. This ensures that birds are provided with a reliable and hygienic water source without the risk of leakages.

Easy to fit and widely versatile, side mounted horizontal nipples are handy for a variety of different uses. These nipples are used in the Solway Hanging Nipple Bucket (horizontal).

10 Litre Tripod Drinker

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:05:46 GMT

This new plastic hopper is designed and made by a British company based in Shropshire. Made from UV stabilised polypropylene and polyethylene, these drinkers are designed to endure the toughest conditions on shoots and poultry farms.

These drinkers have a solid tripod base, which is as light as it is durable. The heavy duty carrying handle is designed to cope with the loads encountered when filling and moving the body. The high capacity water pan is easily accessible to all poultry and gamebird species.

The water hoppers on the tripod drinkers are easy to fill and the fact that they are made of translucent plastic means that you can easily see the level of the water as you fill and maintain the drinker.

Filling the hopper is quick and easy - while you're filling the hopper, seal the spigot with a rubber key style bung. Once you place the hopper onto the tripod, you remove the bung, slacken off the carrying handle and let the pan fill. As soon as it has covered the outlet pipe, you just need to tighten up the carrying handle, creating a vacuum which controls the release of water as your birds drink.

The tripod drinkers are stable and operate perfectly on uneven ground – though it is always best to try and keep them on a level surface.

This ten litre tripod is one of three different sizes based on the same design. Others are available with twenty and thirty litre capacity hoppers. Tripod drinkers come in three sizes – ten, twenty and thirty litres.

These traps are made to order in our own workshops, please allow up to 14 working days for delivery.

We are pleased to be able to offer the new Solway Ladder Trap to customers in 2012. Hand made in our workshops, these traps can catch dozens of crows in a single setting, yet are lightweight and portable enough to be dismantled and moved around by a single person.

Ladder traps (which are also known as Letterbox Traps) can either be pre baited before setting or used like a traditional larsen trap with a call bird. Once crows enter the trap through the ladder, they will be unable to leave again thanks to the sloped shape of the trap's roof and the carefully spaced ladder rungs.

Ladder traps have been in use across the country for many years and have taken a variety of different forms. This trap unites the best qualities of its predecessors, offering greater efficiency and simplicity of use than ever before. Suitable for catching rooks, carrion crows, magpies and jackdaws all at once, these traps are the ultimate in avian vermin control.

Unlike other prefabricated ladder traps on the market, the Solway ladder trap is not cumbersome or heavy. Designed to be easy to assemble and move around, our ladder traps are perfect for finding the most efficient spot to catch. They are supplied in flat pack and are easy to assemble using heavy duty cable ties

We will soon be publishing a guide for the best use of the Solway Ladder Trap, but until then, please phone for more details.
