Do the sleeper heads fit either model of the goose floaters, rester or sentries?

The sleeper heads only correctly fit the rester model. The heads will fit the sentries but there will be a gap of about 3/4" between the head and the back of the decoy. Hope this answered your question.

The sleeper heads are awesome. For hunters who are trying to make the spread look as relaxed as possible, you can't get more relaxed than the sleeper heads. These things work even better on snow and ice.

They look awesome off to the side of the rig with a couple of resters mixed in.

As these guys stated they are excellent confidence decoys for mallards. I run my goose spread more then I run my duck spread, especially late in the season. I place 80 GHG floaters and 6 or 8 mallard decoys off to the side and close to me. This is DEADLY!
I will try to get some pictures tomarrow of the goose spread. I run about 10% uprights and the rest are sporting sleeper heads. It's really a cool look!!

These look great on sandbars. I also like to use them on ice, especially when there is a hole of water that I can put them around.

I snapped a picture on Saturday of the set up. Due to running short on time we weren't able to put out the normal spread of 80. I think there was 42 out on Saturday. Usually the cove on the right side of the picture near that family group is stacked up with decoys also. This makes a nice long open spot for the ducks and geese to finish. As you can see by the picture most of the decoys have sleeper heads which makes for a dynamite look.

No doubt!

We don't so much as have a hill where I hunt.

Thanks,
