Cranfield Posted March 24, 2002 Report Share Posted March 24, 2002 Thanks to a good source from Deako, I will shortly be the proud owner of some full-bodied and shell type flock covered decoys. Whilst they were a "good" price, I want them to last a long time. I need some advice. Is getting them wet a problem? How do you clean them? Is it OK to put them in the same bag as plastic decoys? Any other tips for their use, or care would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deako Posted March 24, 2002 Report Share Posted March 24, 2002 Hi Cranfield,glad I was of help! Our decoys are treated very roughly;rain,shine,whatever.They are never cleaned and at the end of the day are thrown into a sack,mud and all.The current batch are still almost as new,just the occasional one showing signs of the flock peeling,but I would think that treated with a bit of TLC,they should last a lifetime.If you have a problem with the deeks,Mike will take them back and repair them.He also does superb goose decoys,one man can manage 50 on his own!!

Cranfield Posted March 26, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Hows that for service ? I telephoned my order on Friday evening. Posted a confirmation and cheque on Saturday. Received my decoys by courier today (Tuesday). The quality is superb and I am a very pleased Pigeon Decoyer. Thanks Deako !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 It's good to hear about someone getting a bit of good service for a change. People only seem to mention bad service (over and over and ....). Well done Cranfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 14, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Having used the flock-covered decoys "in the field", I am even more impressed with them. From a distance they look far more realistic than the plastic ones. I have never realised just how shiny the plastic ones are. I bought these from N & S Shooting Supplies, Warrington ,Cheshire. Ring Mike Newall on 01925 728057 or 01204 708930 They also have other pigeon shooting stuff, nets, hide poles etc. Good price, excellent quality, highly reccommended.

Deako Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 They will also soon be producing a pecker and possibly a battery operated flapper,much cheaper than some 'other' people....The hide poles are very good too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 14, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Deako, Mike has a typewritten price list, which is available for the effort of a phone call. He hopes to have a "proper" catalogue printed soon. He also has a rotary device at a good price.......and Goose decoys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
