Catamong Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 They used to be manufactured and sold by a guy in Sandy, Beds, but I am not sure whether he is still trading - I still think that they are the best decoy ever made - you might try e-mailing BASC to see if they can help you......Good luck.

markadams Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 What is so good about the HH decoys? Has anyone managed to find them yet? Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 I've looked for these for many years since first hearing of them. I have seen many references in magazines and books and they sound the biz. I would like to see one on the flesh (or plastic/rubber to be technically correct :().

dead-eye-dick Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 :C Decoys used to great effect by Peter Theobold and, I belive, Archy coats. As Double h says, they are avalible only from one company, on behalf of 'h' and 'h' ( I can't remember their names) The address is avalible form Peter at Sporting Guns address. Be prepared for a very long wait though, I think they are taking orders for 2005... :( :thumbs: :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 I am sure that they were a small family business based in a village called Wrestlingworth, near Sandy, Beds - the owners name was David :(, and he re-started production after acquiring the business from his father. To answer Mark's point, they are a lightweight, full bodied decoy made from flexible rubber, about one third the weight of a Flexicoy, with the head in a semi-feeding position. They are "inflated" to a full body size using a balloon inserted in an opening in the base, (I think that this is a naff idea and I use screwed up plastic carriers bags instead...!!!), and they are mounted on a removable, two prong metal leg. They do not shine in sunlight and look remarkably effective. I hope you find some, because used in conjuction with a rotary, they are the biz...!!! :thumbs: :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviddjlloyd Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 :thumbs: Re; DAVID H GALL decoys. I had some in the seventies ,yes they took some setting up (with inflated ballons inside). But they worked ,on one occation they preferred my pattern than my mates pattern of FLEXICOYS. They were balbous and simulated a pigeon in winter with its feathers puffed up . Yes I would recommend them . :( :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
