DSD decoy questions

[stilker]

1. How do the dave smith hen decoys come to shape? Do you have to blow them up like the zinks? Or do they pop out or what.....and how long does it take to do it

2. Can it fold up in the back of a vest?

3. opinion on submissive hen decoy?

They don't blow up ,and need no inflation whatsoever  - instant setup

But they are flexible and very durable to the point they will take a blast form a shotgun , they will never deflate

They fit easily in a vest -

The submissive hen works well in conjunction with a DSD jake of Strutter

so they don't collapse? it will be kinda like a balloon in your gamebag?

They are like hard plastic. They are full size and do not collapse. You need to carry them in a bag over your shoulder. Little bulky but worth it!

I will say, this I want leave home without them.

Everyone thinks the not collapsing part as an issue, but if you had one for a week you'd see where all these positive comments are coming from. . . with the shoulder bag they provide, their smaller size and very light weight you'll never notice that it's there.

If it wasn't a hard body they couldn't do this.

Little bit of mixed info, none wrong, it's just that there are two versions of DSD's  

DSD's used to be made of hard resin.  No deflating at all.  Carry in bag, and be careful, they can break.

2-3 years ago, they switched to ACE, which is more like a soft polymer.  While ACE can hardly be described as collapsible, they are fairly flexible.  Not sure they will fit in most vests though.

The ACE is hard to beat in my opinion...

When I said hard plastic, I guess I could have specified that it is "semi pliable" polymer. The bottom line is he was wondering if you blew them up and the answer is no. They are not inflatable.
