Tedward Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Right guys (and gals), I've almost decided to to go mechanical to get some more movement into my pattern, - so what does the team think is the best flapper available at present? I've seen a couple of the older models and I think the flap rate is too slow. What are your recommendations, for the best of the current bunch? cheers, Tedward.

chrispti Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Try here mate, I have a couple, been going strong for just over a year now :look: http://www.ukshootwarehouse.com/shop/PIGEO...phgjohdlk80c4s2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancs Lad Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Dont bother............ FLOATERS are the way forward................. The movement that these give in the pattern are more effective than a flapper. "Greenhunters" ones or the "terminators" will suffice.................. I was out in the field with a flapper the other day and didnt rate it much................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Floaters are also very good :look: I find coupled with a flapper on an intermittent timer, it gives the birds a bit more confidence to commit to the pattern :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANO Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Terminators !! i think these are the way forward i dont use the magnet anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedward Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) Thanks guys, So the newer floaters can provide the movement, and not just raise the decoy above the crop! - Sounds like a lighter way forward. Is it worthwhile lugging a flapper for those very still days? I have just searched for more info on floaters, can anyone tell me who sells Predators? cheers, Tedward.

(ps nice one Shotty666) If I only had to take one piece of kit along with the decoys it would be a flapper every time . Have a bouncer in my hide pole bag too, just stick a dead bird on it and place it at the rear of the pattern to one side :blink: Edited September 19, 2009 by chrispti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I have found, time and time again, that a mechanical flapper works better for crows/jackdaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
