oakey 57 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 i read on here about a new decoy being launched at weston park so i hunted them out . At first they looked very good but when i gave a bit of thought to look at it from above (birds eye veiw) they did't impress . what did anyone else think? Quote Link to post

happy larry 3 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) I can only assume you mean the fuds oakey, well i have trialed them out.but firstly i need to stress i have nothing to do with these decoys whatsoever i know they come from up north. and my review is totally unbiased i was at the midland game fair,and saw the stand selling them and thought to myself these look ok il give them a go,so i parted with my dosh and walked away with 3 boxes.i had set aside a couple of hours last thurs with the intention of giving them a test.right the field i set up on had recentley had peas on it,but sods law the farmer had ploughed it all up,leaving a semi rough finnish in prep for wheat.right the trudge began armed with 6 half shell,6 silosocs and 6 fuds.all the patterns where set out in the middle of the field,with each patern being an identical horseshoe a space of 10 metres was left between paterns.then i went and sat about metres away in my landrover armed only with my binos. after 15 mins pigeons started to land in the fud patern then pigeons flew over the shells and silosocs and landed smack bang in the middle of the fuds.after 2 hours of watching and keeping score i found that 1 pigeon landed in the silosoc patern,0 pigeons landed in the shell patern and 23+ had landed in the fud patern,i say 23+ as i failed to put a mark on my pad as the bloody phone rang,but i was still watching.i did notice that nearley all of the pigeons that landed in the fud patern stayed on the ground longer than they would in other decoy paterns i have used when out with the shotgun (ideal for an air rifle) when i 1st got to the field another lad was just walking over the field with his decoys and he set himself up at the top of the field and set himself up near to a spot i took a guest to a few weeks ago and my guest shot about 45 pigeons,in the 2 hours i was there this lad managed to get 4 shots off. Note to mods,if i have caused any problems with the naming of decoys etc,please feel free to dump this post Note to other members,lets please not start a war of decoys or a slagging off match i have posted this for you to make you own conclusions.and dont buy these decoys on account of what i have written. paul***DO NOT*** copy and paste this post to other sites please Edited October 1, 2009 by happy larry Quote Link to post
Deako 0 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 oakey, Video here: Are these the ones you looked at mate? Quote Link to post
oakey 57 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yes they are the ones i saw still think i will wait and see (but then again i'm still waiting on the rotary) the one main thing you need in decoying is a feild of birds Quote Link to post
Deako 0 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 happy larry, Whatever you do, DO NOT put your post on the pigeonwatch forum! I posted a link to it and got an instant ban! Not that the mods on there are corrupt of course...not! Quote Link to post
oakey 57 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I don't get this about naming products on here and having to ask if it's ok . If they are fuds thats what they are the same as a deban mk3 ferret finder is a deban mk3 ferret finder could some one explain before i put my foot in it ? Quote Link to post
Deako 0 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I think its fine on here mate....just on pigeon watch with their VERY anal moderators and the fact that they get backhanders from a certain site sponsor! Quote Link to post

Hi mate, I brought some of these at the game fair. Used them a few times now, they work, but not on their own, you will need a flapper/bouncers and/or a rotary I dont think they are any better than shells or any other decoy really. One good thing is they fold flat, but that's not worth the asking price. Who are you getting the rotary from? Paul Edited October 1, 2009 by paulmodo Quote Link to post

oakey 57 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Some of the best decoy's i ever used were bits of grey guttering with real wings stuck on with unibond though they were heavy to carry Quote Link to post
