yickdaz Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 like the detail in nickbeardos pics for decoy patterns and wind direction..very good only thing i question about them is the rotary is literally in the decoys and not about 10 15 yards away from them; guarantee every bird that came for a look would turn off if the rotary is in or just outside the decoy pattern just wundering what anyone else thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_T Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 So that's how the pros do it - shoot them on the ground Landing on the pattern is preferable. Then you can shoot an approaching bird first and take the second (landed) bird with the second barrel on take-off. Nice when it works.

I bought one nearly 2 years ago and have used It about 3-4 times It just lays In the back of the jeep as when I did get It out It never had any effect I do have a few floaters though that get used regularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I should also mention that you don't usually see large arrows flying across fields with "Wind" written on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

point and shoot Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I bought one a couple of years ago and never seemed to do any good with it. Tried it again just recently and it works a treat. I set up the rotor as per the receommended positioning but it didn't work!! The pigeons go straight for the rotor - sometimes nearly colliding with the rotating birds. Then they land next to it or nearby in the decoys. So now I put out two banks of decoys about 25 meters apart with the rotor in the middle and hey presto! Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
