DEADLY PLUMBER Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I have a few. They are good quality decoys. Very good paint job. A little pricey compared to others. I'm pleased with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEADLY PLUMBER Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I have two of the floaters ive had them a year now. They work well in wind. I don't use them all the time. Also they are very well made compared to others. Some one on this forum used to make some that others said were very good.? I don't recall who. Someone out there may know who im talking about ? I know if you mail order them because of the rod length the postage is not cheap. I got mine at the Shooting show from Chris so avoided the postage. Also he will give you tips on how best to use them. Ive had some cheap ones and they were not as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I think the suggestions is where magnets are starting to spook the birds, try something different like floaters (or flappers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadshot123 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 As cranfield said the pigeons are getting spooked by magnets so thought i would try a different approach and heard chris green ones are one of the best on market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 As cranfield said the pigeons are getting spooked by magnets so thought i would try a different approach and heard chris green ones are one of the best on market Are they really, though?

yickdaz Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 As cranfield said the pigeons are getting spooked by magnets so thought i would try a different approach and heard chris green ones are one of the best on market I,ll admit they CAN be spooked by magnets, but if you find the right position for it,, it will work in your favour more often than not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 never ever have a problem with my magnet, always drags birds in when nout else will, must admit the flapper of late seems to be doing the buisness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenhunter Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hawkeye is your man. He's so much cheaper and makes them to pull in pigeons not punters(tin hat duly adorned). Admittedly, Greenies are well painted but the pigeons should be dead before they see the fantistic paint job (imho). GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
