Kit for a day over decoys.
- Decoys — Jack Pyke flocked half-shells in 12-packs for building a pattern, and FUD fold-up neoprene decoys where you are walking in and weight counts.
- Netting — Jack Pyke camo pigeon net at 3 x 2.4m, for building a hide into existing cover.
- Calls — the Acme 500 pigeon and dove call.
- Holders — ground stakes for setting decoys and static targets.
Pattern shape matters more than decoy count. Set up with the wind at your back and leave a clear landing pocket in front of the hide, within range. Pigeons land into the wind, so they come in towards you. Keep the decoys facing into the wind too: a pattern facing the wrong way looks wrong from 200 yards up.
