I've struggled with ONE 1098 for 3+ hours (sweating profusely all the 
while) to try to avoid having this happen -- and it was a close thing.

I can't imagine dealing with a whole covey, herd, flock, whatever of them, 
day after day. I suppose in the end one learns what they will and won't do.

I find an impact hammer makes tuning them less agonizing -- still 
agonizing, mind, but less so than trying to use my standard technique on them.
