I work on 10 birds for a box of carts unless they are coming in really well to the pattern. If they are quartering or less than happy to commit into the kill zone or the wind/angle/distance comes into the equation then forget it!

Being able to cast well will make all the difference. You see many lads flogging away on reservoirs turning the water into froth. As a beginner I would recommend boat fishing to begin, drifting downwind as it's almost effortless to cast. Drift down a bank broadside to the bank or anchor 5-50yds offshore and fish with a muddler on the top pulling it through the wave. Fish can chase it and hit it right under the boat. It's how my dad taught me and it still catches them at this time of year in particular. Long accurate casting to spooky fish in calm conditions is a bit more advanced. A floating line and a few big dry flies like daddy long legs and muddlers if it's windy is all you need to begin with. Enjoy.

One of my permissions has metal 45 gallon drums in th fields that get a banger hung into the open top off a length of wood over the top. It's one hell of a bang !

As above I'm interested in buying a S/H air bottle for my air gun. Prefer to get gauge and whip with it and for it to have a fairly long test date. Will collect from within reason close to Preston Lancs area. Maybe further. Cash waiting.

Hi does it have gun pod?

Thats what I thought..... She's sat here next to me ******* herself laughing after reading that!!

Thanks for all the feedback and photographs lads. Seems they have changed the manufacturer and the hypas are slightly different now. I've built them up and they seem like they are the same as the ones in the pics. My only gripe is the screws don't seem the get a good hold in the corrugated back. The screws are only 1/2" long and a little heavy gauged for the body. Also the clamp on the underside is at a different angle than the ones in the pics and online. I presume they will still mount on a rotary ok at that angle? Time will tell once it arrives. [/url] [/url] I presume I have done these right?

Ok I will post a pic as soon as I get home. The carbon rod slides (stopper side first)? through the mid wing slits and into the wing tip pocket but it has nowhere to locate at the back of the decoy head. The rods just overlap and have nothing to secure them into place. I know the rubber pigeon head sits over everything but not sure what keeps that in place either. There is no sillosocks instructions anywhere online or nor did I get any in the parcel. The poles on the bouncer are straight, and the light brown sockets on the bottom of the decoy body are not cranked they come off the body square. So when the poles attach the pigeon decoy just sits flopped over backwards under its own weight. Like I said I have no instructions to follow so I'm totally guessing here.. Also supplied were two brown plastic poles. Not sure what they were for either.. Any hypa flap YouTube footage shows the poles with a crank or dog leg in the last 12" of the pole and the decoy sat fluttering facing into the wind downwind of the pole..
