jay404 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hey has anybody got any experience with using these hide or should I just stick to poles and netting . Has to be for 2 men as I always have a mate with me . Thanks jayhttp://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=301053877006&alt=web Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7daysinaweek Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 just stick to poles and netting or made hide which gives most safe and appreciable view of field, i fear it would be blown away and noisy to sit in.shooting position looks terrible standing in that. good luck getting two in it from a safety and comfort angle. like lots of the paraphanalia which is touted on tinternet just would not be for me. if they were any more safe and efficient as netting and poles that is what you would see of use in the field. just my 2ps worth.

Good shot? Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Doubtful it is two man and not suitable for a pigeon hide IMO. Stick to poles and netting if pigeon/crow decoying. Just got a bigger pop up hide myself but will be using it for rifle shooting and will just fit my mate (when available) and myself in, hopefully. Edited February 10, 2016 by Good shot?

roadkill Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Stick with nets abd poles,easy to erect and work great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay404 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Just been looking about . And had a thought . That is pretty unless every pigeon decoys in perfectly there is no room to swing through the bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Stick to poles and nets, that way you can build bigger if two of you shoot. Most of these pop up type of hides were originally designed for photography! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMBO69 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) I have a good friend who uses one for sitting out for a deer or two when high seat not being used..He swears by them.

superspark Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 If your birds are dropping right in on your decoys and it's not very windy then they are great. I have two and if your on your own the second seat makes good for your cartridges and sandwiches. I've shot many crows and rooks this way. However, you do have a limited field of view for shooting. I was out once shooting rooks and the heaven's opened. Felt really good to be perfectly dry at that time. I mostly used mine for squirrel shooting with the .22 LR low level.

drut Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I have used a "doghouse* pop up hide for years(worn one out & onto my second),great ror rifle use,if properly sited,although 4x4 + net works just as well BUT for shotgun/pigeon use I leave it at home!

oxfordfowler Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Bought one a couple of years ago (can't imagine what I was thinking) used it once - useless. It's been stood in the corner of the shed ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
