[Guest casbri]

long distance would be  over 500 mile

[jimmy white]

too much of this ,,,short sprint,, sprint,,,,,,,sprint to middle ,,,,,middle to long , ,,,long to extreme long , basicly i would say anything up to 350 miles  sprint, over that termed as the longer races

I may be wrong ?????????  ;D ;D ;D but it's not the distance as such, that desides this question/query. To me !!!!!!! it's the hours on the wing that they do, which category they fall into etc. Under 10 hours "Sprint" over & above 10 hours "Distance".

Enjoy.

I think he means that flying up and over hills makes it's long /9er)   ;D ;D

But 350 is sprint upto 550 is fair to diddlum middle and over is classed as long.

700 or more is what I'd dem long personally.

Why that's why they 'Names' like 'Noon' libs... so their s/sprinters catcth up at the waters when too dark to cross, and nip over to be classed as 'Distance' birds... whereas the rue grit / distance birds then have to battle on with cold muscles etc. and aches etc. and then lol and behold expect to beat the bird that's been in it's loft for 4/5/6 hours.

depends if you fly downhill on the south or uphill on the north  ;D

 

Personally I'd call up to 200 sprint, 200 - 450 mid distance, 450 and over long.
