chrispti Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 My plastic shell deeks are getting on a bit now so they are a bit shiny when the Sun comes out. I'm on a tight budget but I've ordered a pack of 6 to replace the shells. I have a rotary that I stick dead birds on as well but I will let you know if they work. I doubt anything will ever be as good as putting your gun down and turning your back to have a pee :good: Apparently, they do work mate but not any better than any other decoy My shells were looking a bit worn out so I just got some sillosock jackets ( http://www.ukshootwarehouse.com/shop/SILLO...UV+JACKETS.html ) 10 for £25, and they work too :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobby dazzler Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 i need to get some new decoys but i am in two minds weather to get some fud decoys or flock coated half shell decoys what do i get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 If I could only have one decoy type, it would be flocked shells, or plastic shells with sillosock jackets. They are versatile, create good movement on spring sticks, easy to carry around...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenhunter Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 ..........or invest in some grey primer/matt enamel paint and some tippex. What a good suggestion I always paint my own, even new ones as they don't look very convincing. That's one advantage plastic has over flocked...you can repaint them. I wonder how FUDS will wear GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Thanks, everybody, To be fair, they arrived at the shop that I mentioned earlier exactly when they said they would and phoned to tell me. I think I'll by the Mk2 version; that'll be the one that comes out after they've realised that the tang (clearly visible at the bottom of Jaspers top photo) and which fits into a corresponding slot (2 off) is too short and they've made them somewhat longer. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFC Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Went out yesterday and used six FUD's for the first time. As I was with my buddy and he had some full bodied with him and I used the rotary then it is not an objective test of FUD's. What I can say is that all the Pigeons that were attracted to the pattern all committed and none veered off. They look really good on the ground, especially in the sunshine. My only complaint is that the neck and wingbars are quite muted in colour on the shaded side or in shadow so I may well touch them up with some Tippex or suchlike. I will use them again and I don't regret buying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby dazzler Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 has any one else had a results with using the FUD decoys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auto culto Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 bought 12 today and popped out for a minimalistic approach. Never did any good but given the weather conditions I don't think it would have made any difference if I had put 30 shells and the magnet out. I think they are well made but they could do with longer stakes as they are real ground huggers. They do look very good in the field though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
