Fieldsports Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 My attempt of a home made Pigeon Magnet with decoys.All Home made with stuff lying about or given to me by friends.The only thing I have noticed that the decoys are not flapping enough.But I think I have the answer to this as I am using high tensile fence wire( Keeping the wings too stiff ) You will see in my video showing it not finished but trying it !A quick change to the wing wire to carbon rod... These are the cheapest I have found.1mm by 1000mm longI think 1mm will be better than 0.5mm tell me if I am wrongHere is the site link I have ordered 2 for these decoys I have made to tryCLICK THIS LINK TO GO TO THE WEBSITE AND EXACT PRODUCT Below is my Nearly finished design Which by the time I have finished if the carbon rod works in the wings the magnet and decoys will have cost me£12.56 as the carbon rods that will arrive at 1mm thick and 1000mm long costs £1.21 and £2.45 postage. ( same post for 2 I believe )So I will try a couple and see how it goesWell I need to get them right now. £12.56 I am gutted see how expensive shooting can be !And don't think I am joking. !

Cosd Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Looks good, well done. Try folding the front edge of the wings, this is what you do in the Hyperflaps to make them flap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) I use carbon rods sold for the manufacture of fishing floats, much cheaper! I think the birds need to spin faster and that if you were to cant them inwards they would display better. Nice work so far.

Lord Geordie Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Lools brill. Come on, own up! Was it just ME who was expecting one of the decoys to fly off through the greenhouse window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
