currently using a 4ft sputnik but switching to a bricon system in 2010 so trapping will likely be different in the spring.

I've tried both. With bobs, I trained and trained, and some still hesitate. With the drop trap they basically learned on their own. For me, drop traps from here on out.

I have found the drop trap to be the most sucessful and efficent way to teach and train birds to come in to the loft fast.

I have a Sputnik trap and a drop trap. Most of my young birds learn to enter before they even start to loft fly without the use of a training cage. I usually start leaving them on the landing board a few days before I weaned them out. This allows them to get to know the outside surrounding, get some sun and learn how to get back in. And under constant supervision from me cause a few will fly down to the ground, go on the loft roof to kickback or attempt to fly across to our house roof....
