Cosd Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Watch the fields if you haven't done so already and get yourself under or as close to a flightline as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorsey Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Make a hide somewhere near where pigeons like to feed or under a flightline. Put the decoys out in front of you in any one of many many different patterns. Turn on your flapper and your magic rotary machine and sit and wait for pigeons to come and visit you. When they do, or when they are at least within range - stand up and shoot at them. Fingers crossed you'll hit some If that doesn't work - take a look through the forum and read some of the threads on decoy patterns and techniques - have a look in the tips and tricks forum for one. Pretty much all of this has been covered. Weekly. Most importantly tho - have fun and don't get disheartened if you don't shoot 100s straight away.

pboro shot Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 one thing im noticing at the minute is very few if any are decoying so dont sit around all day waiting for them to come in get on a flight line and shoot away but still put all the decoys ,flappers you have out certainly wont hurt and if nothing happens keeping scanning the area and move if you see activity elsewhere, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12borejimbo Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 If your pattern is not working then change is, have yur back to the wind, and get a good hide, apart from that, practice makes perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
