Just a Question

[louisiana flyer]

This is my 2nd year flying, so far I have finished in the op 10% of the combine in every race.  I'm i flying good?

[Wiley]

if your finishing in the top 10% yea your doing well for your second year mate how many fly in your combine?and average birdage?

[louisiana flyer]

Their are between 30 to 45 flyers in our combine.  I just have not won a race yet, 3rd is the best finish.  I won 3 clubs though.

You`ll do just fine loiuse,but you need to be very careful over understanding results especially many chured out to go along with advertisments.

     Take here, God`s country,so called good results used for selling can and are used ,which although in a court of law may not be classed as telling lies,but which certainly are economical with the truth.

     You can race in local combine,with on average i suppose 25-35 clubs,BUT perhaps 10% of members choose to race birds in the combine OPEN,paying £1more for each bird,and although in theory you could be clocked 500th in the real combine,you can still win the OPEN and advertise the same pigeon 1ST OPEN COMBINE.

    Much the same goes on nowadays in so called National races,where in theory there coulds be 10 other results chured out classing birds as 1st National,but which certainly been also rans...hope this helps you in your jouney into this wonderful hobby,and the morale of the story is..don`t beleive everything you read,especially advertisments.

well done yr doing something right,im a novice wer i fly in the allotments ther is 7 lofts all been flying a long time my second season i was getting birds bak off races 30 -45 minutes(mostly long races) before all them but when i got to the club my times wer no good, won one then alot of top 8 finishes be better next season

[louisiana flyer]

I won the club again, but not the combine.  was still in the top 10 %.

I would say if you have finished in the top 10% in every race and this is actually only your 2nd season then you have or have had some very, very good advice and help along the way.  If I might ask, where did your birds come from, not names or anything like that but what area compared to the one your in.  Not many flyers are as fortunate as you seem to have been, it takes lots of work to be as sucessful as you are.  Well done and my most harty of congratulations to you.  Ed

P.S.  As Linda says you need to join the help a beginner program, but not as a beginner but as a mentor and I will be your first beginner.. LOL.   Hows that going to work Linda..   LOL.  Ed

It's not going to work Mr. Dillon

[louisiana flyer]

It is only my secound season, check the  au web site, Bayou RPC,  I fly under 2 loft names, Kaminsky and Borgeson.  I have had great advice and it came from my dad.  He flew in the early 90's and has been out of the game for 10 years.  My birds came form local flyers and some of my dads old stock I got back from his friends. The reason under two lofts is for my brother(he lost every thing in huricane katrina).

Where in Louisiana are you, Flyer? I'm in New Orleans.

[louisiana flyer]

I race in the bayou racing pigeon club.  Do you fly in The Greater New Orleans combine?

[Jim McArthur]

I don't fly (yet): I am totally new to the pigeon world. My only pigeon is an injured feral I picked up Friday night! But I remember my father talking enthusiastically about the racing pigeons he kept as a boy, and it got me really interested in the little critters...

 

I would appreciate any contact info you can provide about New Orleans-area clubs, breeders, etc.
