Jack Pyke flocked pigeon shell decoy – spring peg mounting £4.95

These shell decoys are so convenient for a day’s shooting because they are stackable and take up hardly any space in your bag. They are lightweight at just 110g, so will not weigh you down on long walks. The colouring is realistic and goes into fine detail which helps attract the pigeons. The flocking texture is effective compared to ordinary plastic shelled decoys, and there’s no reflection from the sun which is just what you want. These decoys come with a springloaded stake which brings it to life in the wind. I found that I had to place the stake at a 45 degree angle otherwise the decoy did not sit right, but once I got the knack they were perfect. For an easy day’s shooting with light gear, these decoys are ideal and will be an asset to your shooting shed. Combined with the full-bodied decoys they make a perfect combination.
