I dont know much about the west coast "scene", but DONT overlook going to sport trainers and seeking any and all help as far as becoming a decoy, because ALL sports and PP decoys can teach one another a thing or two about being the best decoy/helper they can be. Remember, a decoy is a helper in the sense that at times it is the decoy giving the correction AND training as much as the head trainer. Keep an open mind, I guess is what I'm trying to say. Keep us posted on your findings and progression. Mike
