anyone know the checking times for newhouse

it blocks the person from ansering me im sorry if i did this to anyone it was not my intention still a lot to learn about this thing billys keeping me right thought i was blocking him only if he beats me in maidstone m8 lol

well said rab m8 watch the race they get this week if the birds go on saturday east section will need to put up tennis nets to stop them hitting the back of the loft lol

get one up to newhouse marking station for the guys to sign and one to the rest of marking stations bill

good luck guys with both races

there was 7 on the first result on the web better nut that one that got knocked off eh

yea but they allways pick up on the s te bill lol

il correct that right away m8 had 7 pigeons on the result now have 6 and i did not need to send them 83 miles i chose to

still need that wee man on yer sholder bill

thanks dal same to you m8 i use to be the same deff proves to me im on to something 20 out of 25 from newberry to im usually strugling for doos at this time of year and still have a good team fresh for ypres or any other race i fancy having a go all the best to every one that sends to maidstone

picked out 26 looking forward to it dont care what the wind is but would prefer north every bird on its first flight most just thrown it some half way up and a fresh team in the loft for ypres bring it on lol

now i can go to bed the 20 fresh ones still need trained lol night all

thankyou

thanks chad a straight anser i take it you do this with success im not looking for opinions only facts m8

to late sent them to otterburn lol but wont do that again

peter maybe im not putting this question correctly all im asking is does a bird that has had a 8 or 9 hour race need any more training to go to another long race 10 days later or is flying round the loft enough for them

thanks mik i know what to do with the others m8 what im trying to find out with nationals 10 days apart do you let them sit and jump them back in or train them a simple they dont need any training just jump them back in or give them a toss or two is the anser im looking for m8

thanks peter that explains everything

but what do you do with them peter with raceses two weeks apart do you train them or not

but what would you do with them alex thats what im asking m8

mines are hooked up to my old vcr 25 pounds out of liddles works great they do gareth fox to m8

well done norrie

i was lucky enough to get 7 birds on the the newberry national result and thought of sending some if not all of them to maidstone national along with 20 fresh birds that were at leicester with 10 days rest then trained but to be honest i was not sure what to do with the the birds that scored in newbury they were all in great nick should i rest them then train them 2 or 3 tosses and back in to maidstone but risk bop attacking them should i flag them and stay safe at home or send them to otterburn with fed 83 mile toss safety in numbers thinking or just open loft and lift them straight back in after much thought i sent them with the fed to otter burn it was all most a costly hard lesson i sent 21 yearlings and the 7 old birds i timed in the national i got all 21 yearlings before i got the first newberry pigeon with my timer being 2nd last bird and one slept out why i cant get my head round was it the change in wind direction from east to west or was it the change in distance 324 miles back to 83 miles cant figure it out what i did wrong i remember the late hugh brown of stonehouse a real good distance man telling me he just put his channel birds straight back in no training but i thought newberry was only an 8 to 9 hour fly to these birds they must need a wee spin to keep them ticking over but theres no way all my yearlings should have beat these birds so i was wrong to send them and it will not happen again lesson learned but what should i have done with them would like the opinions of guys that do the doubles with there birds as im still learning distance racing thanks

the sparrow hawk skims the over the the top of mine by a few feet to attack mine m8 there no fools

they dont work m8 waste of money
