fenboy Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Had a few hours on some wheat stubble behind my house,good hide a dozen dead birds for decoys a trickle rather than a stream of pigeon traffic but they really did not want to play ball today not for lack of trying changing the pattern , magnet out magnet in flapper only etc,etc but no real change. Resorted to shooting at longish crossers and my kill ratio dropped somewhat to what I am used to, ending up with 37 for 77 shots As a side note my turbo flapper has gone wrong on only about its third or fourth outing,works for a while then just stops ,its not over heating as its on a timer if I manually move the arms and reconnect the battery it will work again for a few mins then the same problem ,have emailed A1 decoys but no reply yet,anyone else had this problem?

yickdaz Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) i,ve used mine 3 times for 3 to 4 hrs each time and its fine, hope it stays that way. may be if you put a bit of oil on the moving parts inside it may help it stop sticking just a thought Edited August 31, 2011 by yickdaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
