Shooting Hides & Camouflage Nets

In pigeon shooting and wildfowling, being seen is the quickest way to spoil a day. Birds have sharp eyesight and will flare away from anything that looks out of place. A well-built shooting hide keeps you out of sight, gives you room to mount and swing, and lets you sit comfortably through the long waits between bursts of activity. Our shooting hides and nets collection has everything you need to set up quickly and blend into your surroundings.

Pigeon Shooting Hides and Netting

Most pigeon shooting takes place under established flightlines or over decoys on crops, stubbles and drillings. A pigeon shooting hide is usually built from camouflage netting stretched between hide poles along a hedge line or field edge. Pigeon shooting hide netting comes in patterns and colours to suit different seasons and backdrops, from green spring growth to autumn stubble, so it pays to match the net to the ground. Our pigeon shooting tips explain how to read flightlines and choose where to set up.

Pop-Up and Camouflage Shooting Hides

If you want something quick to put up, camouflage shooting hides with built-in frames go up in minutes and come with everything you need to get started. A 2 man shooting hide gives room for a friend or a young shooter learning the ropes, which is safer and more comfortable than squeezing into a single space. A duck shooting hide on the edge of a flight pond or marsh needs to cope with wet ground and low light, so look for sturdy poles and dense netting.

Setting Up Your Hide

Place your hide with a solid background behind you rather than open sky, and leave enough height to mount the gun cleanly without the barrels catching the net. Keep the front low enough to see approaching birds, and add natural vegetation to break up hard outlines. Set out pigeon decoys in front of the hide with the wind at your back, so birds coming in to land into the wind approach towards you. Camouflage clothing, including camouflage shooting jackets and gloves, helps you disappear inside the hide, and a shooting seat makes the waiting easier.
