Guest CS Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 has anyone tried the Boomerang system I personally think it's facinating, be interesting to hear from anyone who has tried it. If you have not heard of it theres an interesting article on the following Web page http://www.boglinmarsh.com/mather.htm
sammy Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 i they keep comming back to you when let out ;D ;D ;D
antwerptom03 Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 I'd try the single boomerang system with my darkies for season but with the current hawk population in my area the birds i'd have open hole dbl boomeranging to and from my loft would be sharp shinned and coopers
Ronnie Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 seems a great system if you can a good place to put the hopper.
Guest slugmonkey Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 Does Davy B do any good on this system ????
Guest slugmonkey Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 Once I asked about the boomerang system on here and nobody seemed to know anything about it
Fair Play Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 Pigeon racing used to be relatively simple now you need degree to understand what is going on :'(

If you have not heard of it theres an interesting article on the following Web page http://www.boglinmarsh.com/mather.htm have deleted the" off topic" replies and" mickey taking posts"jw this is a fairly serious system ,, i personally had my own [boomerang system ] where i won many races and many prizes ,,there are in my opinion , slightly different methods , mine prooved good to me
jimmy white Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 my system ws a relativly easy system , the idea came from a bird i bought from 14 miles north of me, this bird settled no probs, but when unpaired would go back to the old address [there was no loft there at this time ] this bird ,i put on w hood where every morn 6am out with the cocks would travel this distance every morn 6am every evening 5 pm [taking the other cocks [i take it ] most of the way anyway this bird was doing almost 60 miles every day of its own accord , it wouldnt do it right after a race till about the tuesday [prooving to me that birds dont want trained until then after a race ,,,,,if you wanted to toss?] this bird was 15th gold cup national ,,never having a training toss ,,,but fit especially when putting two 3 day old ybs under it ,[seeing no hen for 4 weeks previous , and only seeing and sitting on these ybs for 3 days ,,off course these ybs had to be changed every few hours as the cock had no milk, which off course made the cock keener in TRYING to feed them ,,so to me , that was fitness and keenness in a oner which won me the £100 pool £1800 17 of the best of national birds , most had done the bussiness [otherwise they wouldnt have put the£100 pool on them ], mines the 18 th one , NEVER SCORED B4 and was 6 years o;d but i had the confidence in putting this pool on it [the bird had flown a few nationals never scored but never far out ] but ,as i said, now he had fitness and keenness, this did the trick so, since weighing the situation up was able to form my own boomerang system simply based on this ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and beleive me this was no joke , or at least it wasnt for the fanciers loosing their money ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D all the way to the bank ve haf ways in making dem ffly,,,,,,,simply by observation
Guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 This is fascinating, how does a bird locate to previously unknown location because its nest has been moved there? What can it identify ? Any ideas theories on this?? Another one of those incomprehensibles, that works!?
Guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 I wonder whether these moved boxes/lofts were highly visible because a bird could easily locate within 4 miles sight wise? Just a thought!
Guest slugmonkey Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 No they were trained using feed not visibility
