Spaniel Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) Thought i would give it ago and make some decoys for the bouncer, not sure at present what im going todo with them as im thinking about having them on sticks with springs in them to give them some movement, or i may go for the higher bouncing effect... Anyway used full body decoys and then got some camping foam, the stuff you lay on, childs size is about £3 a sheet and i made 3 decoys from 2x sheets. Got to get some more black paint as i ran out but they dont look bad for my 1st attempt. I cut slits in the body of the decoys and passed the wings through them and then sealed then with painters caulk befoe spraying, seem to be held in place quite well at present, just waiting to sort the springs out and then try them in the filed and see what happens With the pigeons i have used a head up and head down decoy and the head down seems to look better when bouncing around Cheers Edited April 27, 2009 by Spaniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George1990 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Nice! Look the business. just hope they don't fall aprt when they're spinning around. Just bought my 1st decoys so wanna get out and use them. Was planning on making my own but found 12 shells for £20 which i thought was good!

Got mine from the caravan shop in Kingswood, so any camping shop will sell the roll up foam for sleeping on Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
