fxshooter 18 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hi Guys, New to shooting and just starting to get some gear together, so would appreciate some advice from the more experienced hide builders on here. What size net should I buy ? Has anyone had any dealings with A1Decoys? Are they worth spending money with? Thanks. Russ Quote Link to post
drakeshead gunner 26 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hey bud, net size depends on how many of you will usually be shooting or if u take the dog with u. I find a 3x1.5 meter is ample. The bigger the net the more effort to blend in, and a large decoy bag is a good thing to have. A1 seem good too, bought some full body decoys and they were delivered fast. Hope this is a help Atb Quote Link to post

fxshooter 18 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 It will just be me in the hide. No dog, and no mates Sounds like 3 meter job for me. Russ Quote Link to post
The Duncan 802 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I've found A1 decoy ok too - good for price, pretty quick delivery in my experience. Quote Link to post
drakeshead gunner 26 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Haha sometimes it's better being on ya own pal, other people talk and make ya miss birds (well that's my excuse lol) and dogs although they mean well get on ya tits lol. Sure a mate will wanna get in on it when ya start with the big bags. How long u been at it pal? Atb Quote Link to post
Cliff Ray 185 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Having shot everything else I only stared decoying pigeons last year and bought everything from them as they were not only the cheapest, but also answered the phone (which wasn't an 0870 number) and then delivered very quickly. Mention my testimonial and maybe I'll get a discount when I go back Quote Link to post
fxshooter 18 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks for the advice guys. I am a newbie and am just putting my kit together, initially I will be shooting crows and magpies with my air rifle from the hide, but am also in the process of applying for a SGC. I hope to start shooting pigeons over decoys May/June time. Thanks again. Russ Quote Link to post
