pin Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Magnet position and speed is one of them "personal" things. I have been pigeon shooting (should that be shooing as I typed first?) a little over a year. I have seen many different ways to set out a pattern and I have seen all of them work on their day, I have also seen most of them not work at all Common practice is to the head of the pattern, however I have seen twice now that closer in magnets, plural, with a pattern around them, draws in the birds lovely. Good job nobody seen you in that ditch what wasn't there, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth Stalker Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 I've found the magnet on stubble is not required at all , a flapper is what you want :unsure: Save the magnet for the winter rape. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
