3D GAME BIRD SHELL WITH STEM

A realistic game bird shell decoy designed to maximise your chances of attracting game birds

This plastic model is the first shell decoy of a game bird entirely designed by our teams. At Solognac, our aim is to facilitate encounters between shooter and game bird: this means reducing the distance between game bird and enthusiast. The realism of this plastic model, in particular its colours and size, therefore plays a key role in your ability to attract these wild game birds.

The decoy's realism: an essential factor

When shooting game birds in flight, it is essential that the decoys laid out on the ground be as solid, comprehensive and realistic as possible. The paint used mimics the game bird's colours as closely as possible, and also withstands deterioration due to sunlight, rain, sand and being rubbed against other decoys when transported, for example.

A versatile decoy: two positions possible with the built-in clip-on stem

The shell decoys can be stacked on top of each other to occupy less space when transported. This is a significant benefit when you are heading to your shooting position with 10, 20, 30 or more decoys. This model features two holes on the top: this allows you to choose whether the shell decoy mimics a game bird that is eating or a game bird standing up with the built-in stem. This stem is clipped on under the decoy (no need to carry the components separately and risk losing the stem).

How to position your decoys on the ground

Shooters are recommended not to install their game bird decoys at random.Three main considerations should be taken into account: the direction of wind, the direction from which the game birds will come, and where you are stationed.Several decoy patterns are possible, but conditions are ideal (the wind blowing from behind you & the game birds coming head on), then place the shell decoys 20-25m from your hide in a broad "U" shape on the ground so that the game birds come in to land in the middle.

Increase your chances of attracting game birds with these tricks

To further increase the realism of your array of decoys, we recommend that you supplement them with our new 500 solid decoys and mobile decoys positioned facing into the wind (such as hypaflaps or rotating-wing game bird decoys for movement). Finally, wear camo clothes and don't forget your hide! For example, see our shield-style hide.
