12guage Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hello again sorry it took so long to get these on here been a bit busy trying them out and they work just use a full body decoy 2 slots in the side and some time to make the shape of the wings and tail for some reason these seemed to pull the birds in better than the rotary although I have only used them once so far anyway. Take one for sale sign ( yours of course) cut to shape and make sure to run the channels accross the wings to add strength being plastic it is 100% waterproof already use a good quality primer for the base coat and a stippling brush for the tail and wing edges draw in the white lines on the wings for detail and hay presto one home made bouncing decoy for under £6 a peice ( working on the number i used 6). Your comments would be very welcome on this Happy hunting Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3xspringer Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 After making the hooks and sorting a lofting pole out,thought i would have a go at the above attachment which will enable me to loft 2xdecoys using the lofting pole seems to work nicely and presents the pigeons well what do you boys think BB When using lofting poles do you have a problem getting the decoys back down on the end of the lofting pole if so use a plastic funnel [65p/75p] cut to size on the end of pole, works a treat for me.

Bluebarrels Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Back on thread yes mate ive got a funnel like you suggested above,makes it much easier to retrieve the decoys at the end of the day,especially if its windy cheers BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
