wildtrax Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 you cant beat the real thing on a magnet second to that are hypaflaps airpros are best left in the shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fielddweller Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I bought some airpros last year and have had poor results,However i am new to decoying and its probably me. I have found that the movement attracts the pigeons but the noise stops them from coming close,also the flock finish will come off if not packed Very carefully.I personally have had better results with dead birds on the magnet,but like i say im a newbie.

Yes.............................. and no, there **** mate I use plastic flying decoys with real pigeon wings and tail feathers glued on untill I get 2 dead birds, then I put those on :unsure: (Iv moved the tail feathers up since this pic was taken ) Hyper flaps work well too http://www.ukshootwarehouse.com/shop/SILLO...socks+Pair.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 There have been plenty of threads on here about Air Pros, too many to post links to, have a look in the "Search" facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanl50 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Unless its a force 10 gale the wings dont spin round that well. go for the Hypaflaps I have both and hypaflaps look so real in everyway when on a magnet, I even use them on bouncers, the Airpro's look more like fat doves than wood pigeons, the number of times I have been day dreaming in quiet moments only to look up out the hide and and think YES but its the Hypaflaps going round, they are worth the money.

Hi Noel I was told, place a PTFE washer eithier side of the body on the wing shaft so when it spins the wing does'nt rub on the body, but to be honest there over weight, unrealistic, the flock falls off, need I go on, I still use them to keep my decoy numbers up but its Hypaflaps all the way for me Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignoel Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 you are right i looked at them and was thinking the same as they look like they would slide up against the body .stopping the action just glad i dont use them i would get frustrated with them. real birds for me crow/pigeon but he is a trier and will buy any gadgit he thinks will work for him lol lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
