I had to laugh, saw some turbo flappers at Weston Park yesterday!

Do they really work? They were so frantic and unreal!!

 

 

Yes they work well a mate of mine uses 6 and just a few decoys and he has been shooting huge bags over them !

 

I like them but like any decoy equipment what works 1 day might not work the next :yes:

The answer to that question is they work for a few minutes ,then they dont work for a hour, then they work for 5 mins then they dont work for half hour etc , etc, etc or in other words they are totally unreliable from what I have found ,I also seem to be finding out once the retailer in question has your cash they really dont give a toss if it works or not :mad: buy one at your peril.

I'm talking turbo frantic flapper, not an ordinary flapper which I agree are good and nearly lifelike.

No the one's I am on about were so frantic they were nearly shaking the pigeon's head off. Very unrealistic

 

Plus despite numerous requests when will someone post a picture of the string operated flapper???

I'm going to have to disagree on that one, I've seen birds as they are about to land they give a quick flick of the wings, just before they touchdown, and that's what I think it imitates well. Also seen them hovering above the crop almost. Again done with a very quick flap of the wings.

 

On the contrary, normal flappers are a little slow in my opinion and don't imitate the bird landing at all.

 

On the same token though, I expect they both work on their day and both won't on another, different ways for different days! It's simply another tool in the toolbox.
