leafy Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 Hello all Looking thru some shooting links and came across this site (Brilliant).I notice a few of you also use the Airgun BBS :( . What a wealth of info I have already found on here so far ,I have also made a rotary decoy device which I see a few of you have done,a couple of foam deeks will be on their way soon from N+S shooting supplies to finish it off(Has any one else used these).I am in the middle of testing it at the moment to get maximum battery life Looking forward to a few discussions ATB Dave :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 Welcome leafy, its amazing how many people have made their own rotary devices. I have two of the foam decoys you mention and they are OK. I also use them on my floaters. I do try to change them for fresh dead birds, as they become available. There is no substitute for the real thing, in my opinion. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 Welcome leafy Whilst i agree with Cranfield with regards to swopping the deeks on a rotor for the real thing(when poss) some days i have had better results leaving them on, however saying that i reckon its the same as fishing in a way ,if the bait is not presented correctly you wont get a bite,by this i mean that if the dead birds are left with feathers hanging off the or their heads\ wings arn,t quite in the right position it can put off in coming pigeons more than a good quality deek would. this is only my oppinion but it works for me. regards sutty :what: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGhost Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 I go along with what has been said. I start the day with foam N&S ones and if the birds keep coming I leave them on. Any slight aprihention and I put the dead ones on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafy Posted January 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Looking thru some pics of rotarys set up ,it looks quite a job to get the pigeons looking half decent as I,ve seen some with feathers sticking out at all angles on some (It would put me off a flypast),maybe a bit of hairspray would do the job :S .Thanks for your replies ATB Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flightline Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 leafy, welcome. You may have an idea there with hairspray/lacquer. What`s it called, heavy hold? 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
