Topgunners Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 OK All. i have just received the latest prototype Hypa flappers from U.K Shoot and these NOW look the dog's danglies and after a quick set up out back they FINALLY flap as they should have. 3 new design amendments. 1. The line attaching the 2 wings is now sealed underneath the U.V cover. (No more flipping over ; I Hope) 2. The attachment to the magnet is now rivetted to the body and a 45 degree angle built in so the bird, rotates level to the ground. 3 The joining rods are now thicker and have glued on end caps so they don't get lost. Special thanks to Mark for very quick delivery. 4 fully-charged Batteries and now raring to go. (bought at last weekend's Game - Keeper's fair) Dave K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topgunners Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Back from a fairly successful day shooting over a bean field today. I set up 5 silly-socks and 10 flock half-shells and put the 2 new Hypa -Flappers on my magnet and after about 30 mins or so I got my first pigeon and then there was no looking back as i ended up with 79 picked up and carried across the field back to the jeep. My dog only failed to find 2 birds all day and I was well pleased as he chased a flapping pigeon 120yds plus across the field and into the next one to retrieve it. One of those "delayed reaction" hits. Top day. Dave K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Beasley Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Nice one Dave. The new mount is pretty good as it adds a LOT more strength to the decoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
