Remington 1100 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hello all I was out shooting with a "pigeon shooting guide" recently and i was told my magnet arms were to long for his liking. Myarms are 4ish foot giving a 8 foot spread bird to bird. Also the birsd are about 3 foot off the ground. It is a home built wiper motor type. Any help / measurements would be helpful.

deny essex Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) My rotor arms are longer than that , always made my rotary arms around 2 + mtrs long , giving roughly a 4 mtr spread give or take at a height around 1.4 mtrs. Even my lightweight hypaflap rotary has a 3mtr spread around 1.2 mtr height. Never found any I have made to be a problem , the shorter arm ones less than 1.5 mtr to me do not look right , but then im not a pigeon Edited March 2, 2012 by deny essex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Mine are 4' but i could have had the 5'. height of mine is adjustable from 1' of floor up to 5' off floor but the higher the arms the closer the arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheer James My advice would be to take what many people say with a pinch of salt. I've had people tell me my magnet was in the wrong place (though i was still shooting pigeons) or my hide stood out too much (though i was still killing pigeons). Some folk seem to spout a load of rubbish just for the sake of it with nothing to back up their claims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
