Rope banger prices

[Clive]

What are you all paying ? and where from

Flying rats getting busy here so need some but prices really seem to vary

 

[Brisel]

Mine come from APM of Spaldings but I have enough left over from last year not to need to buy any more. What brand are you looking at? Portek?

 

[Try to succeed]

I've just bought a couple boxes from platts of the standard portek ropes and paid £28/box.

portek is what we have been using but really not fussed on brand as long as they go bang

 

[Brisel]

I'll have a look for you.

 

[Mr Charisma]

Paying 28 pound and a bit , not sure of exact figure ,,,,,, I could get them for a bit less but means buying bulk ,,,,,, the ones I get are just 3 or so miles down the road so I get 6 boxes as I need them
Was hanging up about 7 a day when I was suffering with rooks on 2 fields of beans but beans have grown away so down to 4 or 5 ropes on the rape ,,,,,,,, but at least I'm on top of the job and it's the neighbours who are feeding them at the moment tho not in the numbers we usually see

About £28.00 here including VAT One box, Portek. Sam Turners.

 

[Brisel]

£27.95 (minus discount) for a box of Portek day ropes

Last time I looked our local CLAAS dealer was cheapest, much to my amazement.
Buying groups usually pretty competitive round here also...

Are you not running the pigeon shooting syndicate any more Clive, or is everyone working during the week?

 

[bobk]

Too cold for them . no need for shooters here Dave bagged them in 2016.

 

[Godber]

Any merchants fancy doing a special offer for TFF members?
@Guy etc

 

[Chae1]

Could you not just buy a banger rope company Clive?

 

[CORK]

No pigeons here yet, usually started here by now.
Are they as numerous as usual in the UK?

 

[Brisel]

Not many here. I've got gas bangers out when a few started dropping into the osr pre Christmas but it is all quiet at the moment.

These are the ones I use and basically yes the rope acts as a fuse with bangers attached to it, as per pics.
