Spaniel Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Just a couple of questions in preperation.. Regarding Pigeon Decoys 1. What is best, Full bodied or the Shell type 2. How many would you reccommend to start off with (10, 20) 3. How many with Heads Down/ Heads Up would you purchased, (does it make a difference) 4. What sort of price would you think is reasonable Hope this is not to many questions to ask Thanks Spaniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build your pattern up with dead as you kill them. Dead to start with of floaters and magnets Start with 20 shells flocked £128 Start with 10 full bodied £75 Jonno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Buy as many decoys as you can afford and just keep adding to them. I have more shells than full bodied and won't buy anymore full bodied ones. I don't have the "heads up/heads down" type, on mine the heads are straight forward and I tilt the decoy up, or down, as I like. Invest in, or make, a couple of floaters, these will give movement to your layout and can mean setting out less decoys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirky640 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 i have 15 shell decoys a magnet and 2 plastic winged decoys that i put on the magnet to start with and put real ones on as soon as i shoot them as said above add to your decoys with the birds shot the more the better as others have said but i think its to much to carry and get along fine with 15 and my magnet all will work fine cheers kirky ps i also have some maxi movers i got from shooting ware house they are great !!and give that bit of movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
