SILLOSOCK DECOY


Recommended Posts


I was going to buy some at the scone gamefare but a dealer told me not to bother as the coating on them starts to peel when they get wet or are stored damp :thumbdown:

 

I bought some flock coated shells Instead :thumbs:

Went out with someone last year, they just started pigeon shooting & had bought some of these deeks.

I wern't impressed, I'll stick to my collection of tatty shells & flexicoys.

I bought 6 dozen last summer and the first day out I used them on a Rape stubble and the guy shot 92! I though they were going to be the dog's danglies. :boogie:

 

Since then I used them on several days when they certainly flaired birds off the pattern, and several experienced clients said they didn't think they were any good. I got the impression that they look good from a distance but crap up close, and the pigeons maybe think the same!!!! I started mixing them in with other decoys and dead birds but now I don't use them any more at all. :thumbdown:

Had some hypaflaps on a magnet the other day, brought the birds in, but as you say mark, they flaired off not commiting to the pattern... Removed Hypaflaps and they were diving in... Not entirely fair as you know what pigeons can be like around the magnets...
