Magpies are gay Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hello, i have borrowed a rotaray off my game keeper, and i was wondering where you put it. I have put a "horse shoe shape" of decoys facing into the wind! Where do i put the Rotaray? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdev Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Just in front of the horse shoe , if the wind is behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernyha Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 were do i put it then!? :*) Mag, from both the replies you have received you can see there is no hard and fast rule and it is a case of trial and error. What works on one day will not necessarily work on the next. Just bear in mind that the pigeons want some where to land so don't stick it in the middle of the U.

kdubya Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 I never use a rotary if the wind is directly behind me? I will only use one when I have a cross wind and I can stick the thing many yards in front of my pattern, the birds do spook with them? but by then they should be in range and in front of you, as has been said everyone has a different way,mine has been rarely out the last few months, but as I am about to invest in a "lighter model" than the lump of scrap yard I am carrying, perhaps it will be aired more often? ps without starting ww3 there are two "lightweights on the market" who's should I go for thinking of robustness and batt life etc cheers K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Hi kdubya! I have probably been using a rotor much more often than you do.I also wanted to change mine for something lighter with longer battery life.As I go out a lot I have borrowed and tried several ones out on the field.My personal impression is that Pinewood advantage is the best and i have recently purchased one of those.I am really pleased with my choice!

Fisherman Mike Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I place my Advantage about 20 to 30 metres from the decoys. This gives the incoming birds somewhere to land. Also although only slight the rotary motor makes a noise and pigeons hearing is particularly good. I am sure sometimes they are spooked by it! FM.
