Hi all, I have been training for about 10 days now and last week when it wasent lashing down I managed to get the birds out for 3 tosses from 20 miles,  the first toss they were back within 15mins of me but on the second toss they were on the missing for 3hours
(horid feeling) the last toss on thursday they were around 30mins behind me even though on this occasion I had flown them around the loft first.

I am not sure on what to do this week as the weather here is overcast and looks like it will be raining all week, should I keep on training and if so how far do I go also if I give them a break this week can I then continue from the 20 mile mark or do I need to come back nearer home?

Thanks in advance for your help Chris.

i think if the weathers bad dont train them, when it gets better back to 20 miles again,good luck

learn them to fly and home in the rain as well from short distances at least that way hawks wont gwet them the distance dont matter but consistancie does  i dont mean heavy rain showery stuff we get

i reckon you're doing ok, so don't go taking uneccesary risks while there is thunder about. how far and when is your first race ?

train when you can  20 miles but i never used to bring my youngsters back to a shorter distance
