How to use a gye net

[corsican dave]

Having just bought one of these, can anyone PLEASE show me how to rig the quick-release sling? A couple of photos would be awesome, as I can't find anything on the net. Cheers folks!

Sorry no photos but a description might help.

Unscew rubber knob, ring slides on to that part of handle, put back rubber knob.
Part with "push/velcro fixings" goes round net ring & handle at other end.. Net is worn on back with ring upermost.
to release pull apart botom part & swing whole net round to front. The net will stay near you as ring is still attached to handle but will slide. I quick shake will "push" "drop"net section up/down handle. If stiff, sink net & put your foot on it & pull up handle to extend buty you seldom have to have to do this,

Sorry about the net tangle at bottom but you should get it from this.
PS meant to say the loose net where I have it tangled in my haste can be pulled up & slipped through the uper ring. That way keeps everything tidy.

PS A whumper net? Maybe that is where I am going wrong.
I should take this one with me.
