FF6 flapper

[steve_b_wales]

Can Corvids (Jackdaw's mainly) be fitted easily to the above flapper? I've read that it is designed for solely for pigeons.

I don`t see why not Steve, they will surely fit on OK, but I`m not sure that the speed would be too fast. Not having used flappers for anything but pigeons, perhaps someone who has, would be better to give a definitive answer.

Sorry that I cannot be more helpful.

I agree that the speed would be too fast for Corvids. There's a turbo model available which has a remote and variable speed built in. I do have a speed controller (non remote though) and an intermittent timer that I could add to the basic model, or just buy the turbo one and be done with it. Thanks for your input.

I agree, and as mentioned to Old Boggy, I can fit a speed controller to it, or just buy the turbo model.

Yes ! I use one for pigeons,Crows,Rooks and Jackdaws you can get extensions for Rook and Crow wings to spread them slightly wider but a slow/low speed is more important iv'e the remote fob so can experiment without leaving the hide. I find Jackdaws fairly easy to decoy with just a few decoys anyway

Thanks. I've always found Jackdaws easy to decoy to a flapper, and even a rotary. I've got one flapper but would like another one. I'll probably get the FF6 Turbo.

Always found jackdaws the easiest of the crow tribe to decoy or call .

Did you get the FF6 Steve ?

Just wondering how you got on with the corvids as I was thinking of buying one.

No I didn't get one but still considering it. I very rarely shot pigeons due to the lack of them on my permissions, and concentrate on Corvids. A 'normal' flapper would be okay for them.
