wymberley Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 OK, Guys, I see that the last topic is closed. Now, I don't want to start WW111 and I don't want to know whether they're any good. If anyone has tried them is it possible yet to comment on (for quite an expensive product) how they stand up to pellet strikes?

Cranfield Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Being made of a dense type of foam, they should absorb "pellet strikes" reasonably well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse James Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Guy's. I have been using the FUD's for the past 4 weeks around twice a week every week. So far I have to say they have stood up against time, weather and the odd pellet strike unlike my Sillosocks which now have holes and tears in them form the odd hit or two.... The FUDS show no signs of pellet strike at 30 yrds. Also the FUDs wash up a treat too from the odd mud splatter and droped in cow Phooooooo..... so far so good. Well worth the cash.

George1990 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Whenever I bring mine in, they always seems to have more holes, yet I never remeber making them. I think it's from the birds that come in from the sitty trees from the left or right, and swoop down fast from behind and zoom just over the ground before they land. FUDs and Sillosock are all too expensive for what they are. Can't beat shells, and they take getting shot up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdubya Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 if its a low one prehaps that would indicate you missed it coming in or were a little "keen" when one got through surely even if on the deck you can miss your deeks?

Jesse James Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 As said low incoming birds, left to rights in my case. Also landed birds normally when having a cup of tea and you look up to see one or two landed in the pattern. that would indicate you missed it coming in or were a little "keen" when one got through blush.gif surely even if on the deck you can miss your deeks? No still manage to hit them..... it happens no real issue, and not worried. Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercharged Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I saw them at tackle and gun show on sunday. They had one that had been shot with a shotty from about 20 foot and the only damage i could see was some paint chipped of the legs. looked very good.

wymberley Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) Hi, Thank you, Guys. Now, where did I put my wallet? Cheers Edit; Doorbell, had to leg it. Was going to add what Jesse already knows. We spend a fortune but the best decoy costs very little. Thermos flask. Hold flask in right hand, cap in left and balance full cup on left knee and BINGO.

Lancs Lad Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 In reply to the question. Yes they do stand up to being shot. even with a full pattern at about 15 to 20 feet. This is especialy beneficial for those that may want to look at the wildfowl products. Ever tried dispatching a wounded bird on the water in between your conventional decoys. You may find that they will then sink. The fuds design and material allows them to be shot and still be bouyant. With the pigeons, we have "shot them" when out in the field and all that you can see is a very small hole, it and the rest of the image of the bird will not be effected. Hope this helps.

Lancs Lad Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Guys as we have said on forum. lets keep the posts to answering questions, not just "comment" posts otherwise the mods will just delete the thread and people wont be able to ask sensible questions. Wymberly, glad to be of assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
