Redditch Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Whatever you do, DO NOT go for a "cheap and cheerful EBAY job" Get the best you can afford (or as stated make one if you are proficient) I have three, and the best by far is a Sealand one I got off A1 Dexoy, had it 4 1/2 years now, and it's still going strong. The other two were £60.00 each plus p&p, and while one is good, the other just keeps breaking welds :( (again today, so repairs tomorrow) Spend £70.00-£100.00 and you'll have one that will last forever and a day. If just using for pigeons, you DON'T need a speed controller, however, if you wish to do corvids with it too, then you'll need a speed controller Edited September 11, 2015 by Redditch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redditch Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Like I said, I have three. Usually just use 1 if after corvids, but 2-3 if after corvids and pigeons. I also have three flappers for shot birds, two decoy floater crows, four bouncer poles, and 30-40 of each crow and pigeon decoys, plus 10 extended poles for pigeon decoys, and 8 extended poles for crow decoys Sometimes I will use them all, sometimes only 10% of them, depends on the day, and how much is flying. Big flocks on the wing with lots of food about, means lots of decoys, odd birds and not much food means less decoys out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmatt Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Wow that is some kit list and that's only your decoys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redditch Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Wow that is some kit list and that's only your decoys. I often invite friends or acquaintances and then they just need to bring cartridges and gun. Sometimes I will set up 2-3 hides on the same field or different fields, and when they arrive they just have to shoot, everything is all done and ready for them to start. Other times I will let them bring their own kit, as I'm using most of mine, depends on the day and what's flying. Sometimes less is more, other times more is more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
