not at all mate iv said what my reasons are for not using cradles on drillings , you wont have it, so get on with it , shot more pigeons than you've ever seen , so what would I no about decoying??

I can see you know more than any 1 else mate , best you get on with it , you carry on shooting a sandwich box full of pigeons a year, if you no best

soon as you put dead birds on cradles the birds will stop or turn out at 80 yrd, so then take um of the cradles then birds commit, that how I know it will put um of committing, plus how many birds you seen feeding 18 inches from the floor with the wings shut?? plus whats the main aim of using a cradle??? its to made bird more visable in crop yer?? so on bear drilled field the bird on floor is visable cus theres nothing hiding it correct?? [ie. plant]

ok mate, have it your way, , just telling you that my EXPERIANCE tells me that it DOES put um off

try it then if that the case,

agree with above

cradles on drilling ?? think you do better leaving cradles in the shed and take the flapper mate birds on cradles on bear field would put birds off from 3 fields away

id love to pay £300 a year again, I had rta, 4 years ago at the time I was paying just over £300 fully comp, had R.T.A , lost licence for 12 months, had to take test agin, now my truck insurance is £6500, that cheapest I could find, truck only worth £3500 on a good day

what you mean?? you pay them ?? or they pay you mate???

my area mate? pigeon paradise around here mate

just picked up a flyer from local garage, the oxford gun company is holding an open day15 june,, looks quite good, gun dogs,falconary display,shooting simulator , and other bits , plus open clay shoot, any members from here going? Free admission!!!! that's the part that court my eye got web site, www.oxfordguncompany.co.uk

im in little village in the sticks between chipping Norton and stow on the wold

3/4 and 1/2, eley Olympics 7.5,28g , does the job for me decoying

plenty this way mate, shot 86 yesterday on winter rape in on glos/ oxon boarder

may aswell close all foot paths , no 1 walks um since farmer have the 3 metre grass headlands, they just walk where they like and they look at you as tho you shouldn't be there

oooooooooooohhh someones tiried

mate of mine is 74, and been shooting since he was 8 and using drawstring flapper and still does today,he gives it 2 flapps then that's it , so suppose if 2 flaps ent enough as you say he could tie drawstring to his big toe and continue pulling it while he shoots??

use steel brick banding mate 11 inches long, works a treat in the slightest of breeze and it cost nothing

silly to argue over fencing and rose bushes.. if you and them fall out it may be like a thorn in your side

just go back around and tell them that they got to pay half,,,, just hope that they don't take'' A FENCE''

isn't to bad when farmers donates few slabs of carts, apart from when he come down to the hide when you packing up and says '' how da get on??? your reply is '' ya good day bagged 180 , and he says ' arr good and gives you 1 box [25] carts, lol

4 years ago I was getting 40 p frozen , now getting 25p, 20 year ago was getting 55-60p frozen, and was buying s&b cartridges a t£88 a tho. so now cartridges are £180 a thou, and pigeons are less the half that they were

take long time to get that 120 pound back, you got electric to run freezers, fuel in truck, cartridges you only make 5 pence a bird if your ratio is 1-1, no doubt sum 1 on here will better that
