yidoharry Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi mate. I've been looking at football nets/sacks. Dirt cheap off eBay and there big enough to carry all the decoys, netting and everything else That may well be the way to go on that front.....nice idea!

markshaw2000 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 That may well be the way to go on that front.....nice idea! Yeah I've been meaning to get one for a while. They will also fold up to nothing so won't take any room in the hide either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yidoharry Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Get yourself a Bergan with at least a 100 litre capacity! Any ideas on where's best to get one from?? I'm pretty new to all this and have been stung buying certain items already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Lots on the Bay, usually listed as ex army bergans and you need to look for the long back version and include the side pockets which take 10 litres each. Good luck. P.M. me if you need any more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 For a cheap and great hide that doesn't flap about unnaturally in the wind and blends into all cover perfect try this; Go down the garden centre and get some green plastic mesh (the thick stuff that's like fencing about 40mm wide mesh) Fasten it with Zip type cable ties if you need to get the correct height for your requirement Now I permanently attach the poles again with cable ties but I use it for the marsh were I often have to re-locate fast with the tide. All you do is erect the net and gather up some of what is around you and fold it into the squares, its real quick and you don't need 100% coverage just break up the outline of you inside. Add a few short string ties here and there and you can add an odd branch or bush, but be aware of the landowners wishes when it comes to cutting stuff. Rip it all out at the end of the session or leave a bit in to start you off next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDRsniper Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I enjoy hide building nearly as much as the shooting. I have ghost, stealth and MOD netting built up over time and like recon I believe there is no time wasted in preparation whether that be hide building, setting a pattern or making your packed lunch. I try and blend in with the environment as per these examples. and this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalmac Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Wow, that's some pretty impressive hides there TDRsniper! However I still think the most important thing is the movement behind it. I've seen so many wally's with a half decent hide with their entire head exposed and moving around and the top of their gun waggling about like submarine's periscope and the pigeons coming in and turning around way a shot is presented. But again, wow, those hides are good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJW Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) I recently bought this one - http://www.ukshootwarehouse.com/-new-stealth-professional-2-ply-camo-netting from uk shootwarehouse. Has anyone had any experience with it? So many sites all claim to be the best! Edit - P.s, agree the hide pics above are excellent!

fletcher1004 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 in order to apply effective camouflage & concealment always consider the 7 S's Shape Shine Shadow Silhouette Spacing Sound Sudden movement at least thats what i was taught during my basic training 15 years ago...........

hoggysreels Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Seen a few 5 metre Ghost camo nets on fleabay .. one is around £25 inclusive of postage .. anyone bought and used one? Id spend a bit more but the fact my kitchen ceiling has caved in due to the "internally fitted soil pipe leaking, and readjusting my ceiling by 8ft .... "l'm preempting it causing substantial damage to my wallet ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't apply quite so much to pigeon shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well shine, spacing and sound do not normally apply...........unless someone has a bald pate uncovered by a hat, there are far too many pigeon shooters out in separate hides and unless someone has '1970's Disco Fever' on the radio instead of Test Match Special.
