A good salesman can be the main pulling power when it comes to selling the product , I have got an old d v d from Shooting Warehouse ? , or something similar where they fit four arms with a cog on the top so the Pigeons not only go round and round they also go up and down at the same time . The set up was on a rape field and was way back in time when the quantity wasn't as great as it is in this day and age , it show pigeons were coming in left right and centre and whoever was shooting was cutting quite a few down , the dead were left where they fell and several Pigeons were going to the ones that laid on the deck as well as being attracted to the magnet , no doubt everyone had to have one of those , well I say everyone but I never bought one and in all my time I have never seen one used .

I must admit that I do own and use (occasionally) a lightweight magnet but am a firm believer that a lot of the gadgets on offer attract more pigeon shooters than they do pigeons. However, I do admire the ingenuity of the likes of Nick Tait and others in coming up with these contraptions and if they manage to sell them, so well and good.

oowee Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 I would settle for something that has the basics right. Ability to be hammered into hard ground. Proper wiring connectors that don't continually fall apart. Arms that hold the pigeons in the desired position rather than dropping down under their own weight. Some facility to hold it all together when being transported. Wing nuts that don't break off when you use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would never surprise me that the day might come where W / J and company put the cybosh on using all these mecanical devises and we have to revert back to basics .

pigeon controller Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 My original pigeon magnet that I’ve had for 25 plus years which I still use today has the ability to flap the wings via a central cam and Bowden cables. It took ages to set up and made no difference as the birds flared when they approached the magnet. The incoming birds are cautious of lifting birds. The same effect can be achieved with a battery mounted between the two angled arms and two FF6s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
