They improved feather detail and color on all the decoys ,Jake/Strutter..They give them a black Armor flocking on tops of their back,looks like the feathers are standing up??? I don't know about using them here in Pa. ::) ::). a ****head would end-up shooting them!! alot of $$$$ for them...

I walked by the booth and noticed immediately something had changed.. The irridesence (Sp) caught my eye.. Nothing in that exhibit hall looks as good except the taxidermy competition.

I've heard the stake now stores in the body...securely???  Does anyone have a pict. showing how?  Also, think the flocking will hold up or rub off with use?---Jason

I have over 100 fullbody geese with the whole body or head flocked.. Not all flocking is created equal, some holds up really well and some does not do as well.

Handling these decoys by the head, over time the flocking will start to wear.. Additionally throwing the decoys into huge piles and such they will take their licks.. But all in all hunting 5-6 days a week for years I am pretty happy with how it has held up.. Just try not to handle the flocking with your hands and it should last you along time. Also re flocking is a pretty easy inexpensive process.

I haven't seen anything that looks better - except the real thing.
