forgot to say merry chirstmas to you all cheers John

tried my new flapper today it works well I think I used a long cable from the hide which is not ideal but if I can't make it remote it will have to do. I have thought about something like a central locking remote or car alarm. any one know if this may work. cheers John

I have got hold of a motorised flapper I want to try and make it remote controled so it do'esnt flap all the time, I don't want a timer on it I want to be able to turn it on and off when I need to. I could run a lead back to the hide but don't really want to unless I have to. Anyone got any ideas on how and where to get the bits. cheers John

game dealer takes everything I don't want be it pigeons,rabbits or hares. helps to pay for some cartridges.

Give it a go what have you got to loose. even if you don't shoot anything you will have had a nice time trying you just never know with pigeons that half the fun Good luck John

thats some excuse for poor shooting I'll have to try that one All the best John

seeing alot of these coats on ebay seem fairly cheap anyone got one and are they any good. cheers John

whats your combine doing outside yp it will go rusty? all the best john

motorised flappers have you got one and is it any good ? cheers john

nice one pp :blink:

hello antony you can get them from any agricultural dealer but they arn't cheap . I use them somtimes but only on other fields to the one i'am shooting the field I shoot I tend to put up flags so as to keep the nosie down allthe best john

seem to be plenly of pigeons round way or there were. last saturday me and my mate shot 227 this was an unbeliveable day and a personel best for me and today from the same hide another 190 mostly young ones ,on old bean ground drilled with wheat. truly great sport. John

I thought the same as you tc when I got stung yesterday I was picking up some pigeons and on stung me on the hand and it has now swelled up loads . ******** I hate them all the best John

tried shooting on some new rape ,had been alot of pigeons feeding it shot it on saturday got 7. on sunday shot some drilled wheat got 137 mostly young ones. I h hope the rape shooting will get better. PS flightline the rota coy I brought off you has just chewed the gearbox up, but it was still a bargin cheers John

hello mel b2 what area are you in

PP I tried one of those but could not get it to work any ideas?

Iam in after all what can you get for a fiver these days apart for 10 cans of special brew, I know whats better for you

we have started to cut wheat where I work although only done about 30acres due to rain

what you stoped for half way up a row for buzz? you broke down. I started yesterday did some barley went into some rape today tried the new rape header today . went well then snaped the drive shaft for it so early finish for me today.

sean yes one of the wires had come off soldered it back on and now works fine

sean I brought the rota coy from flightline in the buy sell or swap bit. I take both magnets as the rotacoy is no bother to carry and put up what I feel like at the time. some days they don't like the flapper and will come to the rota coy .

I now have a rota coy which is magic but my mate had one which was not so great as it kept chewimg the gearbox up they are a good magnet as they are light and show the birds nice and high. But the gearbox is the weak link on them , also the service from merlin products who it is made buy was pretty poor to say the least the one I have is a newer model though it looks the same hopfully the gearbox is stronger. cheers John PS deako is your rota coy the same as the merlin one or just the same name. shoot to kill John

well done buzz you pot hunter glad to see your back catch you later John

All the time, somtimes I must have both eye's shut the way I shoot

Me and my mate went out on sunday had 125 on spring rape, should of been 150+ but did'nt shoot to well . Shall have another go this weekend on a different field. seem to be loads of pigeon in my area at the moment but this is the first big bag this year, also a few young birds getting about now which makes life easyer. cheers John
