Just 8 pigeon shell decoys in a horseshoe shape set up a couple of floaters when I got birds shot and just kept adding shot birds to the pattern. Shooting with 28g rc2 7.5s through full and 3/4 chokes in my bettinsoli vintora with 28" barrels

How much of a hide do you have going?..

I have a brand new shotgun in the case 2 months now and I have barely used it

I think it's a 12 foot camo net we never really bother putting any other branches or anything else on it it usually works just the way it is

have u tried using a pigeon magnet, ive just got one and works great,

cubbyleader

Havnt used one yet but my father was making one a few months ago but then left it to start a new project so don't have one to try Plus I walk to wherever I shoot so it'd just be more weight to carry

i made one before from an ole battery drill and the tops of two old fishing rods did the trick for a while , but just got a real one and its magic , it would be worth your while to hump one wit u, i have to walk to some spots myself but wouldnt shoot wit out it now, even if i had to make to trips wit the gear, it pulls them in from a far, go on to you tube and look for a clip called 700+ birds or 700plus birds , these guy are shooting beside dublin airport using magnets let me know what ya think of it

That's what he was making it out of aswell a battery drill. I've seen those videos before they do some good shooting alright

We made one using a window wiper motor, its a great job and very easy to make.If you have a look on youtube there is videos showing you how to go about it.
