Pigeon Shooting Equipment help

[gameshooter09]

Hello,

 

I'm new to pigeon shooting and I'm looking to get some gear to get myself started.

First question is 'What pigeon decoys shall I get, flocked or not?'

Secondly 'How many should I get?' and 'What's a good price for a set?'

Also is there any other important equipment that I'll need?

 

Hope you guys can help, I'm sure you can.

 

Many thanks

allo mate, definatly get the flock coated ones as the unflocked ones tend to shine or glint in the sun when wet (although i did use the unflocked ones for a long time before the flocked ones came out and they did work but things improve). You can expect to pay around £40 for a set of 10 that come with plastic sticks but for an extra tenner you can get the e-z wobblers that provide much needed movement. That should get you going, but you could also invest in a couple of bouncers(bout £15 each) and a pack of cradles (£20). To save money you can make a couple of landers from your cradles by joining some gardening wire to them to hold the wings up. There's lots of other items you could get like, a magnet,flappers, angels but where do you stop, hope that's of help, cheers jon

Would you think I should get flocked pigeon shells or full bodied pigeons?

 

Thanks

Go for shells, much more compact when stacked and easy to carry.
