zipdog Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 I initially started of with just a magnet however after a few years I got tired of carrying a battery and have been using Bouncers nearly exclusively. Then my bouncers disappeared from my shed and instead of going back to the magnet I dug an old flapper out and have been using that for a few months. Anyway whilst pottering in the garden the other day what did I see holding some plants up. Yes my bouncers 😂, turns out the gardener thought that's what they were for 🙄. Anyway, now I have all my kit back and some stubbles to shoot over would it be great to have a magnet going, the flapper on a timer and three bouncers along with shells on the ground. Or would all this be too much and actually deter pigeons? Thanks Zipdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 I think there's laws about locking up gardeners. I've used a flapper and rotary a few times and it worked out with the flapper in front of the hide and the rotary upwind. They tended to try and land near the flapper. Don't like carrying 2 batteries about though, even small ones. Never had much luck with bouncers but that's probably me using them wrong.
