flyeruk Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Im starting to get my first decoying setup sorted out and was looking for advice regarding the magnet or bouncer set up. The permission i have got has been shot a lot with a chap using a magnet. The other consideration is the fact i will have to do some walking with my gear,i dont have a 4x4 so weight could be a factor. I know it would be nice to have both but, what do you think would be my best bet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 A basic set up is going to be a hide and decoys, which you seem to have sorted out. Adding a flapper and a magnet can come later, if you think you need them (and you probably will). There are home made option regarding floaters and bouncers, mentioned on the Forum, it would be worth using the "Search" facility. Don't forget your Pigeon Watch discount from UKSW.

flyeruk Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 So what i have listed will be enough to get me going? I wanted to get some decent quality gear from the outset and the Sillosocks equipment sounds to be good quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 IMO your list will certainly get you started, but you will probably want to add to it as your own experiences guide you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfeller Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Sillosox kit is fine, ours have been in use for some years now and have the usual shot holes but wear quite well. you can always make your own out of old estate agents signs and a dab of paint in the right place. Id go for more feeders but its up to the user. while your atit acouple of sillosox crows might be a bit handy as well. Dont mind me spending your cash.. good luck with purchases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ordered 20 flock delux shells (Hi def) Pigeon rotory magnet 2 bouncers Going to order a couple of crows in the morning. Must stop spending but my lovely wife says,if you want it,get it. Consider myself a lucky man. Just need to get out there now and try and find some pigeons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
