Wiley Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) When i was sprinting they would be tossed usually the week of or just after the 1st old bird race. 4 days a week, which would be 3 to 4 months before the 1st young bird race. I would get them to first race point, and then theyd be trained in accordance to the wind. Tail wind they went 50, head wind 27 mile. There inital tosses were usually 2 at loughton 14 mile, 2 at harlow 20 mile, and 5 at bishop stortford, then duxford as many times i could then Peterbrough. Then when the racibg started the wind is how i trained Now if i give my ybs 2 x 15 mile tosses it would be a lot neil, but my goals are much different and different pigeons, i do not even take a clock out for the ybs now Edited June 23, 2020 by Wiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex young Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Do you do that every year AlexNo Neil due to family reason I've been unable to race ybs for the pass 3 years so have bred very few in that time. The down side is I've got mostly older birds which are winning pigeons so it's hard to get shut of them. Hoping to get back to normal next season good luck with your youngsters.atb.
