London Best Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 I reckon you would sell a few of those at the right price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Hello, it would be a niche market in the shooting world , getting through a patent is long and expensive, I would cost out parts and time and see how much you could sell for, 38 minutes ago, snow white said: Like L/B as said you could make a few quid selling them.

steve_b_wales Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 An excellent idea. What speed does the decoy return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes in as fast as a running rabbit. It’s very realistic. Edited June 17, 2023 by paul1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Made something similar years ago using a long length of bungee cord and a remote release, worked really well but you could only use it for a couple of flushes in the same spot before the dog started to anticipate the flush.

Lloyd90 Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 As with lots of “training aids” they’re good for about 5 minutes until the dog susses it. One of the lads had one of these. (Don’t bother trying to patent it they’re common for the lurcher boys for chasing). My older dog Ted sussed it out the first time he saw it. Never moved but still chased on a real rabbit. If you have a dog that’s got a brain you can’t simulate the real thing unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
