Thanks Pack of twelve half shell decoys around £24 Hide around £15-£20 off evilbay Hide poles four for around £40 Or as some on here do adapt some washing line poles. If you can afford it a 'Flapper' cost around £60 but are deadly in the right circumstances.

Cranfield Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I would avoid buying any expensive electrical gadgetry, until you have some experience in the basics. The most important thing, is to get somewhere to shoot first. Check out the DIY tips on here for making your own floater/bouncer, if you can't afford to buy one (or two), these are a long term proven decoying asset. Look around Boot Fairs for ex MOD cammo netting, as well as decoys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
