Talkin' Turkey...Decoy/Targets
« on: February 16, 2008, 05:44:00 PM »
How do You do it? I mean its Pretty Self Explainatory, What I want to Know is: What Decoy Makes the Best Target, made of Great Stuff Foam? How or What do You Use to Prepare the Decoy, for the Foam to Release? Baby Powder, CornStarch Baby Oil?  :confused:  
    Any and  ALL  Help, Tips, Or Tricks are  MOST WELCOME!!   :readit:

I have a couple of feather flex decoys that could certainly be filled with foam to make targets.  I would suggest, however, if you're going to the trouble of filling one, I'd get the foam from 3-D Country and make it worth the effort.  This foam is better than you find in most 3-D targets and I think one kit would be enough for a turkey target.  I don't know that I'd even try to used a release agent.  I'd just shoot the decoy after it was filled.  I think you'd still have a nice target at probably half the cost of buying one.

I used the great stuff with an old decoy, and it worked great.  BUT when you add the foam, do it in a few steps.  Add a few inches, let dry.  Add a few more, let dry, etc.... The reasoning is that if you fill the decoy full of the insulation, it will not fully dry.  I learned this the HARD way.
