Guest mick bowler Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Well the best place for sprint birds must be Keith Arnold, UK sprint champion 2006, 2007 and 2009 and runner up 2008! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jargre- Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 you won't go far wrong with Silver Shadows, they'll do both distances for you and very well, check the stats by doing a google, they are usually thereabouts in the big races,.

Tony C Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Different strains win in different parts of the country. I would check out results in three parts of the country for sprint pigeons, those being London/Essex racing North Rd, the UNC & the Midlands.

Guest joshdonlan Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 60 to 500 Was thinking maybe 60 - 350/400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 What sort of distances do you call sprint to middle distance in miles Sprint/middle distance pigeons are the same beast for me. Up to 300 miles I class as sprint/middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jargre- Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I'd say no more than 350/400 for middle, up to 450 max at a push but sprint is 60/90 up to 250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks the best ones are the ones that score theres only 2 kinds theones that breed birds that score and theones that score the rest just eat and crap and we all got plenty of them JMO if looking josh look for the guys who win out of turn and are out of position not the coast huggers bang on the line of flight ;) ;) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novice Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 What are the best strains for sprint to middle distance racing? Secondly where is the best place to get them? Thanks Study the results in your area. See who is winning at the distance you are interested in. Tell them you are starting with racers and ask if they can sell you a few birds and perhaps some eggs from their best later in the season.

dwh Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 yes i agree and someone that doesnt keep a large team YEAH THIS TYPE OF FANCIER TEND TO HAVE SMALL TEAM OF STOCK BIRDS SO YOUR GUARENTEED SOMETHING CLOSE TO THERE BEST EVEN OFF THERE RACE TEAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again jmo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdog Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Josh I keep telling people, a good racer will always lead you up the garden path and put in the wrong strain to throw off the competition, if I won with a shadow I'd do nothing more than tell you it was a blue cock out of a totally random strain just to throw you off the scent, telling what your winning with is giving away your advantage, again just my humble opinion. shame on you :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK W F Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 what bread are them then 2 win from 60mls right throuh a program two 800mls week in week out,cus i b buying them. if you find them and they can do it consistenly tell me and i,ll buy them ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
