I installed 12 on a lonestar goliad. they all had to be somewhat modified to fit, but I experienced zero wing entrapment this year. Thanks, that was meaningful for me as I lost 4 adults last year in one cavity. I liked to pack it in after that. I still couldn't bring myself to open the north cavities this year, the ones hardest for me to see. Oh well I guess I tested these on 8.
Best regards to the inventor.

I realize this was an old post (above). I'm looking for others who might be using the PMCA Wing Entrapment guards now on Lonestar housing specifically. If you have successfully installed these WEPs on a Lonestar Goliad or Lonestar Alamo, please respond back. I hear they have to be modified to fit. There is another public site in Raleigh that is thinking of installing these, so if you have done it and have pictures, please share. If the WEPs need to be modified, I would like to see how it was done so I can show them. Thanks in advance.
