Dbw1shrops Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Just wondering if anyone has got these there on the bay of e and they look the part on you/tube only thing is you've got to make your own rods which doesn't look to hard providing you can get hold of the steel ! Thinking of getting a couple so your views will be appreciated. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickB65 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) I prefer the one from A1 Decoy. Look good to me and I may just have to buy one to try it out. Edited May 23, 2013 by NickB65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I will stick with my hypaflaps, setting them up isn't half as complicated and they work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbw1shrops Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Look like they would be ok on a magnet but not sure about a floater the wings flap to much when static. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superspark Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I have these and work very well on my magnet. The only thing ive found with them is they don't work to well in strong winds, for best results you need no wind or very very light winds at most. I quite like them and if you take a walk a 100 yards or more it would be very hard for you to tell them apart from the real thing. Last week end I tried these out and watched pigeons a long way off alter their coarse and fly over to take a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 You mean like this..... that not an assault pigeon that's a proflap a totally different beast the assault pigeon is nowt but a floater and a poor one at that. KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbw1shrops Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 The assault pigeon looks better as a floater than the pro flap though ! The video on you tube shows the pro flap on a floater and it just looks like it hovering there wings flapping like a bird of prey but like I said in a earlier post think they would be ok on a magnet !

Agree with you Dbw, I have the Shoot Warehouse Hyperflappers on their skinny magnet, and two bouncers, they can look "hawky" in a strong breeze on the bouncers. I have found extra rod or rods fitted (doubleing up) in the latter situation, slows the wing beat down to a more realistic action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Mods posted this to clear confusion as what is an assault pigeon decoy like I said its a bouncer/ floater its not a hypa or pro flap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbw1shrops Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hi kdubya in my original post I was asking the views on the assault decoy and the response I got from nickb65 was that he preferred the look of the pro flap to which he put a you tube link up showing this in action.

Dbw1shrops Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I think might try one of the assault deeks think they look like they would work really well over standing or laid crops look pretty realistic to me it's just getting hold of the steel rod ! ?

I know he has had a few bags well over the 150 mark and some close to 200 + on some he used nothing else but the floaters no other decoys at all.. John and me 2 years ago on a field of beans just before they were harvested we shot 185 one day between us in a afternoon, and 3 days later we shot 196 between us on the same field and ended up running out of cartridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
