Aye STB he did, both Eddie and Son Dave were good fliers at the distance. Remember they had a cracking slatey Verheye based cock called Tom, was 2nd UNC Bourges for them.

it will be hard to get the best sprint middle distance birds from someone in your area unless you know them. try look at fed results from a different fed to you maybe a fed on your boundary .look and pick out the three or four names that keep coming up week in week out. then try them for yb,s by phone it should not be to hard to get phone numbers from club secretary. also ask which strains they race and where did the original parents or grand parents come from . some will help some will not don,t be put off if at 1st you get brushed of quick style.as for exact strains we all have slightly different opinions .most good strains their name will keep coming up. van loons/ staff van reets /busshartes to name only 3 .

another way watch the forum this season  see who is doing the winning then ask them a few questions about strain parents ect sure they will help

exactly they just waited untill they matured and the younger doos beating them changed there feeding bingo  

 

look at the heremans out and out sprinters my mate was 1-2-3  fed melun near 500mls

they got desmet and catryse in them  and he had many great turns with them  its knowing when to push them out and feeding

[kingbilly2]

you can get good distance doos to win the sprint racing but no sprinter will win the distance race into a head wind at 500ml i have been fortunet to have doos that can win from 50ml to 575ml but if you feed light for the early races say on round about thay whant come back on for the distant races so be verey carefule you have to set your stol out for what races you think are more inportent for you and get a routen that suets you and stick to it doos love rutein so i have been told 8) 8) 8) 8)

Sprint to middle is upto i would say 300 - 350 max then you are into long distance racing.
