ESTIBAN Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Quite a wind yesterday and I don't have a speed controller. Do I need one and why would I fluctuate speed? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Bit like asking do I need a penis, if you don't understand why you need one you can probably manage without Most people do though, particularly with things like hypaflaps where you fine tune the speed so they spin at a speed that is most realistic. A speed controller that is, not a penis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utectok Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Short answer no long answer can save battery life but makes zero difference to bag. That's what I've found. ( controller might be useful on your penis thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 I don't use a speed controller any more. The only reason i used to use one was to save battery life during the session. A bit pointless otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Generally, faster is better, on still days when birds are floating around slower I tend to slow the magnet down, but not an absolute must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampire Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 You do not have to have a speed control,makes no difference to the pigeons,you do need to make sure the magnet is not glinting in the sun and have a decent set of flappers or real birds on the spikes,oh and cover the battery up,i cover mine with a shell decoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browning n spaniel Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 i would worry about speed control for magnet, the best thing you can do is like what i and lots of my shooting mates have done, find your neaest land fill tip and donate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
