Could you post some pics of the holes and damage and the results after you repair it or have zinks repair it.. them seem pretty though, how long did you let them flog it haha but I wasnt sure how easy a gobbler cound mess it up

I've put a couple of pellet holes through a DSD.  You really have to look to find them, but you don't have to worry about patching them up.

Thats my biggest worry about inflatable decoys.  I watched a tv show last night of a guy hunting over some Cherokee inflatables and the thing poppped and deflated as soon as the gobbler jumped on it.  I would also like to see a picture of your decoy.  I thought the Zinks were made pretty tough, but just goes to show that for the money, you might as well by a hard plastic decoy.

My hunting buddy used to use some old early model inflatables.  He said he had a dream one time about being shot while blowing up his decoy and being found with his lips wrapped around a plastic turkey butt.   :o

I gave him my old Delta decoys to keep him from having to worry about it.  :)
