I think layouts are ok, provide sitting in the middle of the spread. Its faster, more comfortable and more social to shoot from behind the flax blind on chairs.

As soon as the pigeon flares it wings and put the brakes on, you know get very long. They change direction way faster than ducks etc. the Decoys were about 20 yards out, but overall, a little to close to the tall hedge but we needed the shade.

sweet im pickin ours will be just as toasty after lunch but figure cos there little pea stubble on the paddock the tree/weedy edge might be more likely to look less sussat least they won be able to see us from behind if the winds not right if there bloody is any
30 metres out for the dekes should still male for well shootable birds??
