Lightweight and I roll mine up and carry in a sports football boot bag (amaller than a shoebox). I've used it a few times now and it works brilliantly, when decoys are working I'v had pigeons landing a few feet away (too close to shoot).... Highly recomended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Proper net poles are good but to save weight I've got wood sticks & leave those on the farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anser2 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) Realtree nets are ok , but you have to be careful not to get the sun behind you as the pigeons will see your shaddow on the inside of the net. Stealth nets are prone to ripple in strong winds ( I know you can sometimes fix this with bungees , but unless you have something firm like a hedge behind you thats not always possible ) and that again puts the birds off. I recon you cant beat the old army style camo nets. Mind you realtree jackets are something else and I would never be without mine.

hawkeye Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) Ray i use stealth nets so does Kdubya and you can ask him if you like we both think they are great, and he often shoots in a light coloured shirt (very light checker) and it does not seen to put the birds of... :lol: I use 2 nets the first one is tight on the poles and then i let the second one hang loosely it stops them flapping in the wind...
