TIGHTCHOKE Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Can I buy the old ones off you when you replace them please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Most things I have had off UKSW have been top notch, but I was not impressed with the decoys my mate brought from them. They are very light in colour and the plastic is very brittle, if you manage to shoot your decoys as most of us do sooner or later , then the pellets knock huge chunks out of them rather than just pellet sized holes , the pegs are also very brittle and break easily with a pellet strike.

Cranfield Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I have recently added to my shells from UKSW and didn't experience the same as your mate. Mine are fine and get some seriously heavy work all year. If he had a problem, he should have taken it up with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not really a problem for him as he only shoots 3 or 4 times a year , these were brought last year so perhaps they have changed since then , he is not alone in having this problem though as I have seen other posts on here regarding the same issue.

PhilR Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) I've bought plenty of gear from UKSW and whenever I've had a problem they've been extremely helpful and gone the extra mile to help out.
