I have a set of the attached shell decoys that someone gave me. They are plastic painted (not flocked) with a mix of solid and sprung plastic pegs. Although often I have not been using the pegs when there is no or low crop and no wind. Not had a huge amount of success compared to my mate who I shoot with (which of course could be due to any number of other factors/position as we use different kit and setup in different places). But wondering if I should look at alternative decoys? I don't want full-body as trying to keep the bulk down. I already have dead bird cages which I use to enhance the pattern or replace decoys with as I shoot. I also have a rotary for some movement (with either Proflap decoys or dead birds). Then I read this topic which talked about pigeon sock decoy covers and/or sillosock decoys and now I am even more unsure what's "best" for me 🤔 Probably overthinking things but any advice appreciated!

12 Flexicoy pigeon decoys, these are old versions. 10 are in very good condition, 2 are unused. 1 old plastic full body Pigeon decoy in poor condition, no legs. 1 plastic full body crow decoy with legs, very good condition. 1 pigeon shell decoy, very good condition. 1 green carry bag, 4 outer pockets, carry handles, shoulder strap with a big soft pad. Small bit of netting to cover holes etc. Very reluctant sale but short of storage space. £50 most definately no offers. Collect Wednesfield or Droitwich or Telford. I often travel down to Worcester and up to Whitchurch if that helps with traveling.

Hi everyone, I needed some new pegs for my shell decoys, and decided to try making a few myself. I had the materials lying around in the garage (garden canes, pop rivets, superglue and kitchen towel) but I'm guessing that each one of these costs something less than 20p to make. A wee 4mm drill hole through the shell's back receives the pop rivet with enough room to let the decoy bounce just a little in the breeze. A wee coat of matt grey spray paint should stop the rivet from flashing in the sunlight. I'm sure I won't be the first person who's come up with this, but quite pleased with the idea. Will try them out on Wednesday.
