I know at least some of these questions will have been asked before and have done some searches but would still like to ask them from my own perspective, i'm sure there'll be more to follow.
I intend to start decoying in the near future and am starting from scratch so i need to lay my hands on everything, i'm on a very limited budget and will have to build up my equipment over a period of time maybe even buying lesser quality second hand things to get me going then replacing later down the line.
Firstly gun choice i'm after a field gun, nothing flash just funcional, I intended to pick up a second hand Biakal and was wondering how essential you guys consider an ejector to be over a none ejector (will there come a time where i really need to reload that fast) then i've just been offered a hatsan escort at a good price, i know some hate them and some love them but i know the guy has had no problems with this one and is only selling as he does have the odd clay day round different clubs and some frown on semi autos, what are the pros and cons of semi autos, over and unders and then side by sides when rough shooting and shooting from a hide please.
As for the hide itself whats the cheapest way / product to make a usable one, is there any products that should be avioded at all costs? is it practical or maybe even benificial to make natrual hides.
Decoy selection what can I get away with in the beginning, is a dozen shells enough, i presume you will all reccomend flock.
Cammo, i've always just used army surplus for stalking rabbits, is there so much difference with the new cammo designs or is my old army stuff just as good in an effective hide, that'll do for now but im sure i'll be back with more questions soon .
Thanks for your time.
Adam
