The stock camo socks were bought at Bass Pro. It's real similar to a wet suit. Turn it inside out, and roll it on the stock. Same with the barrel part. Easily removed to put on another gun if you want. The fan was origanally made for a real jake decoy I made two years ago. To make it more friendly to get in and out of the field I made the fan detachable. However, after several field tests, I found out it was a major pain bringing in the taxied Jake, and a separate fan, with all my other gear. Then trying to find the holes that the fan fits down into in the jake body in the dark. I decided to scrap the jake. I used the original wires that I had glassed into the tail, and installed some broken aluminum arrow shafts with a couple of small hose clamps. Bottom of arrows have field points on them for easier installation in the ground. I can now fold up my dekes and tote in my turkey vest, and carry the fan in an old pizza box to protect it. Much easier! But still a load to bring out when you got a big bird to carry on top of that, and the usuall 1/4 to 1/2 walk back to the truck. Makes one wish he brought along a cold bud just for the occassion. LOL.
