Year @Dundee that young falla on the left turned up for every shoot rain hail shine and we have had a lot of rain this season.
Even when there was no beaters for the last two shoots he’s rocked up.
I put the hat around and made sure that he got something as well as the brace he took home.
I’ll get him out on a few pigeon shoots this year. He can then have a shot in a controlled environment.

Beating was how we made pocket money growing up in Kent, miss the taste of Pheasant haven't had one for years.

Please elaborate,been thinking about it myself but don’t you still use a cord to ad movement?

you can add in the jerker line to the package but im only thinking of not having to piss round with multiple weights lines and rubbers .
4 decoys on a spreader and in shallow water with no wind
weights be not needed but you could run a line to move them or just to keep them in place .
on elly I,l just need 3 lines and 3 weights 1 for each spreader instead of one per decoy or I,l run a ;line from the spreader to the shore
music to my ears
