Robbo123 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 If you go out shooting in very little wind then how do you set your decoys up? Generally when it is windy I set them up in a U shape facing the wind but with no wind can you face your pattern in any direction you want???

TJ91 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 trial and error, chuck the decoys out in a random pattern, if a few come in you will see where they are wanting to come from, then jump out the hide and spend a few minutes setting up the decoys accordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Try to spend some time observing birds on the ground in various conditions and set your decoys to mimic them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ91 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 When theres no wind its usually a better idea to leave the shotgun at home and take the airrfile out and get some rabbits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
