danccooke Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Let them off they replied to an email apologising asking what i bought and said they were stupidly busy. Hopefully not busy shredding invoices but dispatching waiting goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockport-Tony Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I was in there last week, the FUDS were not in stock @ the weekend, they may be in now or shortly. Apparently they have been out of stock since around Xmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petera Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 My local gunshop received a supply today. I have bought 3 boxes of the pigeon decoys and will try them out tomorrow. Also bought a box of the crow decoys and will try these out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I've got half a dozen ( must have been lucky). They do work quite well I'm not sure that they work any better than any other deek bt the birds do seem to commit to the pattern or certainly come well in range. The last time I went out I packed up using my rotary and just used the 6 FUDS and added the dead birds to the pattern. Ended up with 12 shot after an hour. They handy to use and seem quite tough so I'll stick with 'em for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek, Received my order yesterday after last post, my negativity comes from waiting over to 2 months with the worst order communication I've ever come across, why state you are going to credit if you actually intend to wait and despatch ?? If i'd been kept in the loop or infact just told the truth I would not have become so irrate - supose thats my fault though Hopefully positive post now on their performance in the field Claw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper3 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I just taken a look at some and to be honest im not that impressed with them.Whats with the red coloured stick.. The red coloured stick is for sticking in the ground, (its metal) when you do set them up in a field, they do look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniel Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 When i looked at them yesterday they just didnt look as realistic as the shells or full body decoys do. Maybe i was expecting something else.. But i suppose as long as the birds are coming in on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincolnshire poacher Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I spoke to the importers at the Newark show on Saturday, they had just had a container full land and shipped them out to orders already taken, the balence of the shipment was taken to the show and was sold out by Saturday lunch. Orders then taken on saturday afternoon and Sunday at the show were promised to be delivered in 6 weeks when the next container arrives, I hope this information may help.

If they were sold out by Saturday lunch time what was it they were selling and had loads of boxes of on Sunday. Was past there stand and all they had on it were the fuds..

Toombsy Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Saw some FUDS for the first time today at Whittlesey Guns. There are quite a few in stock there. They certainly are lifelike but by the looks of them I think they are a little bit limited. Shell decoys with spring sticks sit a lot higher off the crops than FUDS do, and they move with the breeze. I think I'll stick with the flocked shells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
