I have 2 they are good for fast release on your jesses,leash car perch but not good for mew's to me just a different type of snap. Great in the freezing weather just pull on the ring and it open's.To each his own,I like them used them for three years had no trouble with them sofa . Hope this helps.
That can also happen accidently, I recently saw a falconer have one attached to a swivel and they caught the ring by accident , the bird bated and he lost his Harris Hawk. Not something i would personally use after witnessing this.
Yep, I would not use one on a untrained bird,over weight,in the mews or a unattended Bird.Now I use them when hunting going to the field,leash or on my car perch.Like I said some like them and some do not.One thing you have to look out for in falconry is not every thing is a 100 percent.
