Bobba Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Just bought a pair of hypaflaps from our sponsor and they flap well. My concern is that there is quite a bit of white colouring on the back rump and tail area which is not part of the natural colour scheme of a woodie. I noticed from my car - about 200 yds from magnet - that this white area seemed to flash in sunlight. Has anyone else noticed this? is it a problem? Has anyone toned down with matt grey? Comments welcomed. Oh, and before anyone asks I had a **** day. There seems to be few birds around at the moment in the Nth Bristol area.

Cranfield Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Like many others on here, I have used them with a lot of success and in fact rarely change over to dead birds on the rotary. They also work well on bouncer/floaters. The white areas on the decoy (even though they may be out of proportion), makes them easy to spot from a distance (as you discovered), I think thats one of the reasons they work so well.

pigeonblasterian Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 I usually change to real birds if there are any.I have more luck with the real birds on than the hypaflaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
left & right Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Its the flash of white on the wing bars and neck bands that catches their attention and brings them in by the the time they realize their is something wrong its to late. I have great success with both dead woodys and hyperflaps i tend to use the hyperflaps more on the longer sessions because my battery lasts longer with them on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealthlyninja Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Work really well for me. I always change to real birds at the earliest opportunity. Had 2 magnets out today, 1 to start with and then when it slowed down (pigeons not the magent) I (the old man) put the other one out. Picked up 76.
