Default Sleeper heads for fullbody geese

Can you use the sleeper heads you sell for the shells and floaters on the fullbodies??

Illsheds,

I don't work for Avery but I know that the floaters and shells take two different sleeper heads due to the design and the way the head attaches to the body.

Also if I'm not mistaken, I do believe that the FB's are also quite different in design... So unofficially I don't think you can. I hope for your sake that I'm mistaken. I'm sure someone who knows for sure will be along shortly.

You can but with modifications and they really need to be permenantly attached once done. I can get a picture if you are really interested.

That is an awesome set up, Doug. I did the same thing to some full bodies before the full body sleepers came out.

Following Doug's innovative lead a couple of years ago I made a few FB sleepers...they were a snap to make.

Thanks for all the feedback, when I went home I noticed the heads are different but I will try and modify a few just for the heck of it.
