I got the video thanks.
Are you selling these?
I have been looking for something that I can link together or link of an existing flapper to give lots of small movement in a pattern of deeks and this could be it.
I have been looking at flocks of woodies on my horse paddocks and they tend to land very close to each other, 0.75 to 1.25m apart, much closer than I noranlly space my deeks, and they are busy busy busy with small movements. Flocks of 20 to 30 birds often only cover a patch 3-4 m long and 2 m wide.
Would like to try connecting together a whole bunch of deeks to a little motor to produce lots of little movement rather than a single flapper or bouncer
i do sell them but try not to advertise them on PW.....if you want lots of movement get a load of dennys dippers.....

i like that....i think a good floater is one of the best peices of kit you can have

saw loads of fieldfares well before xmas .....havnt seen any since then..............

We are now loosing the big flocks here, in my area...and the birds are breaking up and starting to hit the hedgrows big time ( hedge lines with big mature trees in them)
There is only one thing they are hammering, and that is the IVY BERRIES....
im going to drill a small half inch hole in one of the feeding trees and put a flapper in it.....i did this last year and had some cracking sport all my shots were birds coming straight in to me...all i did was to take the nets and a flask and a chair ..wrap the net around me and keep my head down until they were commited..............

buy ( i think its called ) an alpine sunroof....i have one in the front of my 90...it opens 6 inches, then you can unlock it and the whole glass section comes out and you can stand up thro it

once you find a cartridge that you can hit stuff with..then stick with it...if you have a bad day its not the gun and it is not the cartridge......just keep on pulling the trigger ..if you have the basics right then you are on the right road......

are the permissions being shot too regular ?....in my area in the last 2 years number of pigeons are doubling each year...same ammount of shooters.. i havnt known pigeonshooting like this for 10 years or so !
-
i cant advise you i can only tell you what i do...i use a simlar set up........i dont use a horse shoe pattern just a random scattering of birds some in pairs , then the flapper out to the right ..about 5-10 yds to the right of the pattern then the floater 20-25 yds to the right of that....this all depends on the wind direction......start watching how the birds move, it is highly unlikely that you will ever see a pigeon land in the midst of a group of birds.. so the movement needs to be on the outside of the group, birds joining the group will always land on the outside of the group and work their way to the group

have never decoyed well when it is raining...i have had good days just before it rains and good days just after it rains, but never whilst it was drizzling or raining, gues the birds just want to sit up until it ends or slackens off
-
hah who's a happy boy then.....i had more fun with my daughter fishing shooting down the pub, than i ever did with my sons.........
-
shot loads of clays 2 for 1 never 2 pigeons....jammy sod well done !
-
postman knocking on my door at 7.30 this morning provided me with a flapper from Simon, and what a cracking bit of kit it looks,(there are some clever people out there
) now if I ever get a day off when its not raining we will see what it can do, in the meantime the new neighbors are going to wonder why a pigeon is flapping yet not getting anywhere in my garden.KW
When i first made it i was testing it in the garden many years ago in the spring....so it was flapping away and another 2 pigeons came down and tried to Hump it !!
-
dont use them in a light game gun.........they will leave an awesome bruise.....ran out of cartridges on a clay range mate gave me a box of them 32g....i never completed the round,,,ouch
-
havnt been roost shooting for years.....the birds just dont come in like they used to....sure ones and twos but thats it....20 years ago you could set your watch by them and they would come in on the same flightline two and three at a time for an hour non-stop.............
-
the most important thing mate is to keep still,dont move until your about to shoot and practice,it sounds to me that your judgement of distance could be wrong mate,as said put a stick out at 30yrds you will be surprised to see how many birds are outside this distance when shooting,,good luck mate we all had to start somewhere
dont where you are, put some more info' on your profile and ask for somone near to you for help...................

just been down the post office, thro' the back roads, every field of rape has birds fluttering down on to them, then went past a small field of lifted sugarbeet ( about 2-3 acres) and in the sunlight there were at least 4-500 birds on it, you could have stepped from bird to bird from one side of the field to the other.....sadly not on my patch
