Welcome, lots of great information here. Make sure to put your real name in your signature. The moderators will eventually ask ya. Plus some people wont reply unless you sign posts. Go to western sporting and order the california hawking club apperentice manual. That will be a good start. It will help with the lingo. I found it hard to understand some of the books and the chat boards for that matter, until i got some of the lingo down. Ex. I entered my tpf on duck, but havent found any good slips for her. So i gave up and went back to flying my hhs in a cast. That book will help. And you wont feel like these folks are speaking greek at ya.
