Cracking article Walter well done mate.

Welcome to Basics.

I use a flight feather dipped in light oil,strike the clock till the pad is furthest away from the ribbon and rub the ribbon with the feather.DON'T put too much on,leave a paper in contact with the ribbon to soak up any excess.Try several times before the first race

I appreciate that Tony and can see where Walter is coming from,IMO the problem isn't solved by not racing young birds the problem will be solved by finding out why we are loosing them,again IMO illness and chasing unhealthy/unfit young birds trying to catch up. Young bird sickness isn't sorted in a couple of week,if you get it just before the first race it's a month before they are completely over it,give them a difficult race and bye bye.

Good morning

Here's a reminder. For what it's worth most of the lads round here want to race young birds but YBS knocks things sideways every season,ending up with fanciers trying to catch up and race unhealthy/unfit birds then loosing them.You soon get fed up with it year in year out especially when certain fanciers want to run before they can walk trying to get birds that have not raced the previous season for one reason or another 300 hundred miles in four or five races.Not on for me,they need educated not punished.JMO
