greigthedoodrysdale Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Our 1st 2 young bird races are 46miles. Personally I feel if birds are trained enough at 30 miles plus then 70 miles should be 1st race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapri 07 Posted August 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Reason I think this .at the weekend both feds in fife had absolutely disasters from berwick upon tweed and coldstream. Some members only flying 47 mile to 57 mile .Now I no we cant help bop strikes but the weather was westerly. But I think there was a touch of south which in my opinion because of the distance I dont think the young birds put the brakes on and would fly right over fife .but it's only my own opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Used to be a 65 miler 1st week, then a 95 miler next. Repeated. THis was in the days when youngsters flew the whole programme up to nearly 300 miles ... Yes an Elgin or Perth in many seasons. My view is 'Fine' because it gives happy feel to the fancier and his thoughts of caring and looking after his pigeons. That has to be number one.
