Thread: Pigeons over Peas

All those birds without a semi in sight

Thanks for sharing US, sounds like a great shoot. Workingman and I shot 67 on sat morning between 6:30am and 8:00am which was a personal best for me so I a itching to head out again.

What brand are the spinners you are using? Do you think they are worth the money?

No school like the old school. Also, U/O's swing a heap better than a semi

I'll check with a mate who owns those one, and get back to you. They were ex-UK. Need to shoot your first two birds to set them up. The floater on the poles were pretty handy too.

Not sure what they are worth, but certainly very effective.

I suspect you have the one from A1 decoys in the UK

PIGEON MAGNET AND BATTERY

There is also the outdoor outfitters one that the local gun show hold. It's made for ducks and doesn't have the cradles for dead birds on the arms that the a1 one has.

And then there is the vortex that Cabelas sell which is designed for snow geese.
