fagin Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Although im new to the art of pigeon shooting a little tip i came upon whilst working as a stage hand at the local theater. To stop a mirror from shining we sprayed them with Hairspray. I tryed this on my new decoys and guess what, it works, no shiney decoys only thing is this, make sure you match their hair type to avoid split ends or fly away hair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryantidgwell Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 might try that as i can get 12 decoys for £20 saves on the price of flocked or SSocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
