Think of it being like a whirlpool. You paddle close to the edge out of curiosity, and before you know it you're being sucked in. Not that you'll mind too much in this case, I think...

On a more serious note, you might also want to get in touch with and join your state falconry organization or club, if you have one. They're great ways to meet other falconers/potential sponsors through events like picnics and meets. As a fellow pre-apprentice, I would also recommend you check out The Modern Apprentice if you haven't already-it has good information for apprentices and pre-apprentices on a variety of topics.
