I paid a visit to the Pigeon Magnet showroom today. They've got all sorts of rotating, flapping, landing, 2 arm, and 4 arm rotary devices. Flock decoys, swoopers/floaters, nets, bags and batteries. Some really usefull looking triple extending hide poles and a new "free-standing" fibreglass hide.

 

I was like a kid in a toy shop! I'm going back when I get my pocket money!

Malc, sounds good, but be careful to compare prices.

Some of their stuff is a bit pricey.

 

An alternative Supplier for flock covered decoys has been posted on here.

Personally, I prefer them to the Magnet version and there was quite a price difference.

 

Just my 2p worth.

Well, Everygoodnamewastaken, as I believe you're located North of the border, you might be disappointed to find out that the showroom is in Bicester, Oxfordshire.

 

Cranfield you're right, being a good tight Yorkshireman, I smiled to myself at the near  £300 price tag on one, all singing all dancing, Magnet. Don't worry I'm not going to pay those prices. I can make a DIY version for about a tenner.

 

All that said, they do have very good quality products and some items, particularly the triple extending poles, that I might just splash out on!!!!! (Probably after the Sun has iced over!)

I paid another visit today and I found out what a "glider" is. It's just a plain old floater/swooper. Apparently, several years ago the "Simplex Glider" was patented by someone. If you buy a floater from Withrange, the Pigeon Magnet people, then it has the name "Simplex Glider" and a phone number stamped on the metal. So there you are. Not as exciting as we hoped.

Don't make fun. It's not my fault I'm the way I am. I've been like this ever since I was savaged by a crazed woodpigeon decoy when I was 4 years old. I only survived by beating it unconcious with my action man. Mummy says I've never been the same since and that I must start cooking the pigeons I shoot before I eat them. I don't like the idea of that though because I think it would spoil the taste of the feathers if they were cooked. But then, mummy always knows best.

 

Does anyone else have feelings like me?

Being the proud owner of a brand new Simplex Glider, (purchased at a suitably discounted price I might add) I thought you chaps might like to know that, after a suitable field test today, I can say with some authority, that it didn't attract a single pigeon!........ It looked good, it bobbed, it swooped and even glided (is glided a proper word?) but no, not 1 bird came to peak at it. TYPICAL! :crazy:
