Supersonic Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Being dragged round Wilkinsons yesterday by SWMBO and spotted in their gardening section poles for holding nets up over fruit trees etc (we know them as hide poles ). Green, telescopic, pointy one end, hook thingy on the other. £2.99 each! Bargain!!! Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazykayaker Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 i looked at the Wilko ones but thought they seemed a bit heavy considering i might want to carry 5 of them as well as everything else ! am i being too fussy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 You could try the 'lightweight version'.... 1. erect stool (ooeer!) 2. sit on stool 3. throw cammo net over oneself 4. sit very, very still :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country Boy Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Nowadays there's folk spending 100£'s on such as rotary machines and walking talking feeding deeks clothing and guns and yet most seem to quibble over the price of a set of purposely designed hide poles which will surely outlast clothes props from Woollies or Wilkos. Why not try these: NPPC 4/Hide Pole Set=Telescopic Lightweight with Kickplates + Carrying Bag (same as Deko's or NandS but ten quid cheaper) I've been using a set since about 1995 Cheers, C.B.

Crouch valley Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Hi all You are right country boy we do spend hundreds of pounds on our shooting kit i no i have. And i have spent a fair bit of that on hide poles but i still have some of those poles from wilkinsons and they are great as i use them as well as my other poles. They extend a lot higher than normal hide poles thus making them great to put at the back of the hide and also allowing you to put a roof on your hide. I pigeon shoot at least once a week normally twice and they have never let me down un like the ones i have brought from gun shops so go lads grab your self a great bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
