Extendable Bouncers

[Thestoat]

Hi Gents,

 

I am contemplating buying a set of 3 extendable bouncers from UK Shootwarehouse.

 

Has anybody used these specific bouncers and what is the quality like?

 

 

 

Regards

Hi, Got a pair of these (tho not from our sponsor) and they are a quality bit of kit. I think they work much better than a magnet to be honest, and only need a slight breeze to be effective. One thing I've found is that, due to the flexibility of the inner rod, you need to stand the metal pole almost vertically, as the weight of the bird will cause it to bend to the point whereby the bird is facing down rather than appearing to flare as if coming into land....

I bought a pair of these as they were on offer from the shoot warehouse and they are still in perfect condition also they are the same length collapsed as hide poles so they can be carried in the same bundle unlike a magnet which is damn near rediculous. Buy them they add tons of movement and lift your decoys out of the rape that tend to hide shells etc

im thinking of buying some of these. ive been able to hold some and they seem to be of good quality.

 

if there is no wind i had an idea to tie some twine to the bouncer run it though a peg that is pushed into the ground directly under the bird decoy. then run the twine to your hide and give it a pull once and a while.

I have some of those bouncers and they work well. My only gripe is they scratch the fibre glass as you extend or take them down. The fine slithers of fiber glass end up in your fingers so great care is needed in setting them up.

I got some. Only down side with them in my opinion is the wing spreaders, they would be better with the folding arms and crocodile clips.
