Mike525steel Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 at between 20 and 40 quid a piece he can keep em can you imagine if you shot one (it Happens). you'd be gutted cheap flocked shells at £3 each are plenty i get upset when i accidently catch one of them with a pellet. shooting is ridiculously expensive as it is...... dont feed it!!!!

Greenhunter Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Unless Chris Green has severely dropped his prices you would be lucky to get one for less than £48 +P&P (£18 the last I heard) If you really want a couple of floaters at a much better price send me a PM PW members get a discount as well!

hawkeye Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Just checked his postage and £18 is for over 10 floaters, for 10 you should get free postage copied from his web site PIGEON FLOATERS N.B. POSTAGE AND PACKING (FOR UP TO 10 FLOATERS) 18.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 His videos are great and he's a nice guy when you meet him at the country shows, but his gear is ridiculously expensive, regardless of how efficient it is - A full set up would require a bank loan.

Have you seen his new pigeon shooting (secrets revealed) dvd? Some of the stuff he says on there is just nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docholiday Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I bought some from Chris Green and some from Hawkeye, no difference, except the price, I know next order will be with Hawkeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamps Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I have a few that i got from the CLA a few years ago (so no postage) and they are very good decoys, and will replace them when they are worn out. His videos are enjoyable also and he and his son are genuine nice fellows. I have not heard of Hawkeye - can someone post a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pembrokeshire pigeon Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'll agree that they are expensive, but I spoke to Chris at this yrs CLA, royal mail set the £18 postage due to the length of the pole. Not sure wot other couriers would cost. I bought 1 and it looks very life like. Chris and James are genuinely nice people, as a novice I like their DVDs and find them very interesting. More experienced shooters may not agree tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More experienced shooters may not agree tho. for the cost of 2 of them you could could buy a rotary or a turbo flapper and any one of them will pull birds in much better than the floaters,i bought a floater not from anyone on here and i don,t use mine now.
