TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
A realistic duck decoy designed to maximise your chances of attracting ducks
This plastic model was entirely developed by our teams, as we started from the finding that there were no realistic decoys available at affordable prices in Europe. At Solognac, our aim is to facilitate encounters between wildfowlers and ducks: this means reducing the distance between bird and shooter. The realism of this teal decoy (whether it be its colours, dimensions or position) therefore plays a key role.
The steps required to design this teal decoy
This decoy required several months of development. It all began with the work of a wood carver who brought the first prototype to life. 3D modelling was then carried out, along with various adjustments to the dimensions and posture, to produce a true-to-life decoy. A series of colorimetry and 3D-texturing phases for the feathers, interspersed with testing in the field, culminated in a decoy with ultra-realistic colouring.
The decoy's realism: an essential factor
When shooting from waterside hides, huts or cages, it is essential that the decoys be as solid, comprehensive and realistic as possible to lure wild ducks. With this accessory, the flock you lay out (we also advise arranging some of these models amongst your decoys) maximises your chances of getting birds to land.
Why do the characteristics of this teal decoy make it an essential accessory?
The keel of this decoy is weighted, guaranteeing optimal buoyancy when being lapped by water and small waves. Also, knowing that these decoys can remain in place for months on a pond, our waterfowl hunting engineers opted for a main component made of strong thermoplastic for better durability in the face of changing weather conditions and seasons. Finally, note that the properties of the paint withstand potential deterioration due to salt water.
A durable decoy designed to survive the seasons
In the light of feedback received from enthusiasts shooting from huts, cages and hides, the plastic's level of resistance was also designed to cope with transportation (car, boat, bag, etc.) and storage conditions during and after the hunting season. This factor, considered essential by any good waterfowler, has been worked on by our teams to ensure that the decoy has an optimal lifespan. It is also coated with mat paint that does not shine in a full moon at night.
