Bouncers and wobblers / are they the same ?

[mjr88 50]

Hi all.

 

As a newbie to Decoying / pigeon shooting i am looking to buy a couple of bouncers / wobblers to add a bit of movement to my decoy pattern . Are these 2 items the same thing ?

 

I am not in the market at the moment for a rotary machine , and was told by a mate that all i need to do is buy a couple of wobblers / bouncers to add some slight movement in the wind .

 

If anybody could suggest what i should go for , this will be greatly appreciated ,

 

Many thanks

 

John

total newbie to decoying here too,so may be wrong, but I thinks they are the same, isin't it a flapper thats battery operated?

had the same advice myself, on not getting a rotary, plus it saves lugging lots of stuff around/after you

Flapper is just a decoy thats wings flap....would you believe it lol....but this can either be battery or by pulling a peice of string. i think a "Wobbler" is a bendy stake which allow a dedcoy on the floor to move around abit. not sure about a "Bouncer", but have a feeling it might be like what i know as a "Floater" basically its a flying decoy that is held up by a longish rod to allow it to bob up and down and side to side.

I think there is a regional pigeon language around these parts

newbie too lol but i think flappers are different as they only move there wings either battery or manually moved where as wobblers are on like a springy spike design
