FA Brand Full-Body Goose decoys(ARE A JOKE)

[msprx2]

I am so disapointed in the decoys. My buddy bought Bigfoot so I wanted to mix it up a bit so I bought FA decoys to add to our spread. Out of the box I started having trouble with them. first off the cheap legs would not go into the holes b/c they were to big, then after I placed the stationary decoys on the stands they would not go down all the way and fell over. They are to heavy for the stands and they lean real bad. so when we go out the first time we had some wind but not a bunch, well the movers were set to move on the max setting but they did not move at all. second time out today with the nasty weather that moved in GREAT HUNTING by the way we had a ton of wind well the decoys did not move much. The damn Bigfoot decoys moved more than these things. So been out with them 2 times and 4 legs are broken screws came out and they fell off. The stationary decoys fall over because they well they SUCK. I will never buy FA decoys again I wish I could send them back. No use calling FA because the customer service people suck as bad as their decoys. THANKS FA BRAND LOVE YA !

I had some issues as well with the FA Lessers and customer service was worthless. I am just glad I bought six instead of wasting money on dozens.

I had six dozen full-bodies and had the same problems i ran a drill bit up the rest of the way through the stationary decoys and helped alot. and havent had trouble with movement. but finally got tired of them and upgraded to 5 dozen FFD avery's and love them. but if you plan on keeping the zip tie the stands on and drill out the feet so they sit flat on bases. but be carefull bit doesnt have much room and will rip through and start small the work up it takes awhile.

Do yourself a favor: buy Big Foot, lifetime trouble free

Bigfoots all the way......

i used to use the fall apart brand decoys and then i got sick of everything breaking. sold some ... took the others and screwes the heads on with sheet rock screws and cut big holes in the bottoms and use them on motion stakes......

DSD'S, problem solved.

Sorry to hear that you've had trouble with the FA decoys. Anything that is mass produced over seas will have its trouble and problems from time to time. But, I will have to say that I have been VERY satisfied with my FA experience, my FA decoys, FA gear, and FA customer service. I have yet to find another decoy company with customer service as helpful and willing to just send free decoys for replacement. I am in no way saying other companies do not have great customer services, I am just trying to display with satisfaction with FA. I have hunted over 2 dozen FA Honkers and 5 dozen FA Lessers for 4 years now and have yet to have a paint, head, or foot issue. Jeff was once a a part of FA and one of his best friends is still a huge part of FA. Jeff had awesome success over mass amounts of FAs decoys and I am sure he will be the first to tell you that every company will go through trials and tribulations in their first 4 or 5 years (or longer) when mass producing a product. FA, Big Foot, GHG, DSD, HC, etc... They have all done a great job with their products and have all gone through their trials of problems here and there.

I also have hunted over FA duck decoys for 4 years now and have been amazingly pleased with the success and durability.

Big Foot Decoys have always found success no matter where they have been used, produced, sold, and stored. Big Foots are a hard core, durable, and realistic Honker decoy. If you are looking to kill the small Geese, BFs are tough to get by with from time to time, but you cant go wrong with FA or Big Foot.

FAs are junk i can set twice as many bigfoots as FAs in the same time

WHAT??? last year at this time you were all about the FA goose decoys! they were the best out there hands down...talked your dad and I into buying some cause your hero Foiles used them! Which is fine....but now that he switched to Bigfoots the FA's are junk? I don't think so...if they are junk then maybe when we go I'll leave all my "junk" decoys at home and we can use your dads 6 bigfoots, see how many geese we pull in then? Or better yet maybe you should stop buying all these ****ty calls and get some decoys that aren't junk of your own. ya FA's are a pain in the ass to put on the legs but why do you need the feet? if geese are that close to notice missing legs on decoys they should be dead!

i bought a dozen of the FA goose floaters and there garbage!!! the paint is chipping off i have them in slotted bags and take the weights off after every trip and it still is chipping off. i never dreamed any company could have worse paint than avery.. boy was i wrong.
