    Make sure when you wire the motor up you get it to spin constantly, looks like you have left the gearbox on it so you might end up with one turn one way and then back again, as in a wiper action ;)

    not meaning to nit pick mate but those arms look very long and difficult to carry ! my advise would be to first rid of that support bar and bend the arms up to start with that will make them bounce and give you a more realistic look. second make the arms seperate to connect them one easy way is to find some tube your arms fit and weld them tho the wiper moter dril holes through your arms and the tubes so you can slide a split pin through to hold them in place this will also stop them slipping round. the easiest way to get your arms to hold dead birds is to bend the end of the arm at a 90 degree angle and sharpen it now measure about 8 inches back and make to more short arms that come out of you spinner arm at 45 degrees each side of the arm now bend the ends up and sharpen them these go into the muscle in the pigeons wings and all the ones i have made work vey well, hope this helps

    if you need any more ideas to make it lighter smaller and break up smaller just pm me

    thanks for the tips i thought about having some square bar for the rods to sit on so i can just slide them in to placebut i havent got any so thought i would do it how it is it has a thread under the top so it can be unscrewed from the motor and the motor can also be removed from the frame by just undoin 2 bolts so it does come of if it gets worn out the rods for the arms are mad eof spring steel which flex quite well they did bounce 2 much tho so i had to add the brace to support it due to weight of the bird it could hit the floor with too much bounce bought a dead pigeot home tonight and it fitted well ya can just bend the mire slightly to make for a tighter fit but all seems ok when i get some square bar i will re do the rods as the span is about 6 foot.the project is still in process so stay tooned

  12. my new land

    theres wood and brooks duck and phesents aswell

    Just remember that to shoot pheasants you will need a game licence. :good:

    And to shoot ducks you must shoot with a lead alternative. :good:

    P.S

    I believe the wood is not owned by Mr H and there is a dirty great footpath that runs up the side of the boundery hedge of it making it impossible to shoot out of that hedge.

    That and at the weekend you will get a dog walker every 15 mins and even the few that will stop and stare or challenge you to see what you are doing.

    On good days they even ring the police so they come out to see what you are doing :lol:

    yer i know the field upto the wood is his but most of the shooting ill do is know where near there too many paths down there and i know about ducks and game licences when does the phesent season start unsure thats y ive left them be.
