Many thanks in advance. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Without wanting to highjack your thread, and on a very similar note the pigeon shooter and aa decoys advertise hide poles which look identical with big silver spikesQuestion is are they?

CZ550Kevlar Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 No they are different. What is the difference? I'm guessing pigeon shooter have the longer solid core and aa are just a solid spike the rest is hollow? The pigeon ones look about the best on the market.

paul hart Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 The footplates are fluted so go in ground better also they are made from zink alloy, so the zink is strenth and alloy for lightness also come with bag.

Sean Richo Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Just received a set I ordered from a1 decoys £25 pound in a bag they said they are high quality but they are definitely not one of the twist locks was cracked when I opened them have e mailed them anyway so will wait for a reply I had some jack pyke ones before and they where just as cheap so be carefull I would maybe go to a local gun shop so you can check the quality of them as unless you see them it's hard to tell or maybe go to a gamefair and see what's on offer. Would definitely stay away from the jack pyke or ones on offer at A1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ91 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I often use electri fencing stakes, cheap with plenty of 'hooks' for netting to hook into to stop itflapping in the wind. The equestrian ones are best, abit taller and green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamekeeper1960 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Cut some hazel before it gets into leaf - choice of sizes and free A man after my own heart and you can even screw on wedge shaped kickers for nothing and youcan cut different sizes and weigh very little .

Nicholas Bottoms Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I just use two walking sticks that you could probably get from Argos. They extend to 1m 30cm so cover you well when sat down and then allows you to stand up and shoot if you want. They are not massively expensive and are light so they are easy to carry on the side of my bergan and they are only about two foot long un-extended! They don't break easily and you can just use black clips to hold the net onto the poles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I have soil like concrete on my permissions with massive chunks of flint and the wilko poles don't go into the ground very well so I think I'm going to have to buy the pigeon shooter ones.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 But why are you so keen to push the poles in to the ground when a couple of guy ropes and a tent peg or two will make the hide steadier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right! As I have previously said I use walking stick that only go an inch or two into the ground and I keep some para-cord and pegs to stable the wind! as long as the net and cord is taught the poles shouldn't fall over!

IXI KARL IXI Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 If you had lived near me I would of knocked you up a set. Use mild steel tube at work. I made a set of basha poles for a mate, they are heavy but you drive them down a ft deep if you wanted to. I like the idea someone mentioned before about the hazel poles, sharpen the bottom and add a couple of notches only cost is your time.

engraver Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Ive been using hazel sticks as hide poles since I started shooting 25yrs ago but I think Im going to buy some extendable since the frozen groud of late has been bending my sticks, but the last i cut have lasted me years and accounted for many many hides as said totally free.
