Just thought I would throw you guys a bone with a sneak preview of the new FA Sleeper shells. These are a one piece sleeper shell and so far during field testing, have been deadly!!!

Enjoy fellas....

Since the day the forum started...just don't get on as much as I used. Too many other things going on in life to spend it all on here like I used to.

Any decoy can be deadly if the setup and calling is good enough...

What about the durablity?

How do these compare with the sleepers included in the 12-pack shells (other than the removable heads) Are they bigger, smaller? Do they have more of a "puffed up" look"?

:? I'm not a FA fan. But, they look ok. I'll need to see them in person though. So far they look sweet though.

To answer some of your questions...

Stackable - Yes...these one piece sleepers are stackable

Durability/Paint - Quote from John Vaca "I have been beating the **** out of the decoys and they still look great..no paint issues…just a lot of blood spatter!!"

nice, but i dnt feel like paying $150+ for a dozen sleepers, can buy other things for that cost.

I'm sure it won't be far off from that, bought 4 dz LastPassShells last year and paid $905 with tax after talking the sales guy down $30 a dz. That was Canadian by the way.

One thing that I do think you should do with the shells is makethe inner side of the bottom abit smoother so it's not so sharp, took a 2" gash to the palm of my hand and had to get stitches.

They are coming out with a snow and blue 5/8 shell.

That is what I like to see, hopefully they are cheaper than ghgs.

As long as they are 1 piece,stackable & priced less than GHG or the BF..I'm sold

Mark Spence

Check Roger's Sporting Goods...not sure on a price.

They are stackable and they are one piece!!!

Rogers has the HC's but I'm not in love with them because they have such a low body profile - hoped FA's would be what I'm looking 4

I wish FA could put together a paint job that wasn't so shiney, they have an irredescent look to them...and use a darker color plastic for there molds...just my thoughts...joe
