unico1 Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Time of year again, rape, wet fields, kit. Shot 40 odd on Friday, the old saga trying to keep kit weight down after lugging it to and from field was wondering if and what people's thoughts are on the above? I've a normal magnet that must be seven or eight years old, works fine, wondering if there are some light ones out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 I use the A1 magnet good bit of kit, it will lie flat in the kit bag as the legs are in line (trident) as opposed to three feet @120 deg, I also like the fact that the pigeon cradle is separate from the arms (no bits sticking out)........http://www.a1decoy.co.uk/lightweight-pigeon-magnet-493-p.asp As hawkfanz said it will run for hours on a 7ah battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
