steve if possible i would face my loft so its not facing into the prevailing wind second i would cut my birds back too many for one loft 20 old birds and 20 young birds are plenty for your loft.i fly natural and win the sprint races so it can be done iam also the shortest flyer in my club so dont worry bout that if you get the numbers rite the feeds easy.i would not train my birds just flag them at home
