Si-Bore Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hey guys I have a set of the green pigeon cradles and 3 have broken on me already after only a few outings. The welds break aound the body support and am not impressed with the quaily or strength. Where is the best place to get ones that are sturdy and built to last? Thanks Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
