Plain Bob Minor

Call yourself “Wrong and Home twice”…
“Wrong” and “Home” is terminology which is generally used with respect to the tenor but can be used to describe the position of any bell. Wrong means that you call a bob as you are about to become 5ths place bell, (for any method Wrong is when the tenor becomes n-1th place bell), which is as you dodges 5-6 up in Bob Minor. Home is as you are about to become 6ths place (nths place in general), in Bob Minor this is when you are about to dodge 5-6 down. You can read more about Wrongs and Homes and other common positions where calls come on the Calling Positions page.

So to call this touch you need to call a bob every time you approach a dodge in 5-6. If you are dodging up then call it as you are in 5ths place before the dodge (remember you make calls when the treble is in 2nds place in Plain Bob). If you are dodging down then make the call as you ring your second blow in 6ths when lying behind.

This will give you a touch of 120 changes which lasts about 5 minutes.

Call “Three Homes”…
From any bell, call a bob every time you are about to dodge 5-6 down. 180 changes, about 7 minutes.

Call “Three Wrongs”…

Call "In, Out, Make"...
As in Bob Doubles you can call yourself, or any other bell, to do "In, Out and Make". This is also 180 changes.
