wids Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 A few months ago I had a trip upto MAG357's house off here who is mates with Hawkeye off here to pick up a couple of his floaters. I have used them everytime iv been out since (4 times on barley/wheat and last sunday on barley stubble) I am just writing a little review on them as they are worth a mention both the floaters and the guys. The first few outings was on stood cereals and there were many birds fighting accross to woodland, had a watch and decided on 3 trees as my ambush point, putting the two floaters about 80 yards out either side of the flightline, it worked well with majority of birds still sticking to the flightline offering some great shooting, but a few would come off the flightline have a closer look and come into the trees resulting in a few easier shots to build the bag - This tactic was deployed on 4 occasions and evertime the floaters looked great in the breeze and brought some birds off flightlines - bags of 57/64/42/70 were achieved over 4 sunday afternoon sessions (work prevents anymore....!) Last sunday however the barley had been cut in the same field I had shot the 42 and a 70 with just the floaters on a flightline 2 previous sunday afternoons. I took a slab of carts (250) and picked up 175 woodies 2 crows and 2 ferals (179 picked with a few lost in the headland under the woodside which was still to cut) The floaters were used well out to catch the eye of the birds and brought them into see the shell decoys and 10 dead birds on cradles - Floaters worked brilliant again in the wind 1st shot was fired at about 1:50 and ran out of carts at 7:04 with birds just pouring in! Great afternoon great bit of kit and if any doubts about them rest assured they are great, realististic, lightweight and sure catch the eye of passing birds. Top fellas with a passion for pigeon shooting who are helpful Cheers boys Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
