GREENGRASS Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 well done snowy and dont worry the other one will probably work his way back and will be all the wiser for it. Where are you next week and how far is it.
Guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 Good going you two, thought I'd read somewhere ese that you had both back ???

Guest WINGS 04 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 SNOWY DONT GET TO DOWNE AS YOU HAVE GOT A LIFE TIME TO GET TO THE TOP WHY WOULD YOU ONLY SEND 2 BIRDS IF YOU ARE TRANNING THEM ALL AS YOU COULD BE LEAVING THE WINNER IN THE LOFT
madas26 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 it was my first race too,sent 12 young birds to newark,60mile i came 4th which is not bad as im a total novice,only got 5 back.....still waiting

snowy Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Posted July 23, 2006 SNOWY DONT GET TO DOWNE AS YOU HAVE GOT A LIFE TIME TO GET TO THE TOP WHY WOULD YOU ONLY SEND 2 BIRDS IF YOU ARE TRANNING THEM ALL AS YOU COULD BE LEAVING THE WINNER IN THE LOFT its just that we havent trained as far as others, as my job takes too much time & didnt think they were ready, so sent 2 out of 13. (didnt want to put all my eggs (pigeons) in one basket) but trained ferther today & organised someone to train mine for us. so theres always next week. thanks anyway
hooky Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 mate i'd send all your young birds to the first two races especially if you have not had the mfar out on training .if you leave it to late the big jump may just be to steep for them..good luck
Matthew Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 i wouldnt send all my ybs to first race. last year i sent my strongest ever team of ybs all in at 1st race 37 of them theyd had 2 months of hard training and i only ever got 18 back. this year i missed the first race hoping to get 10 in to second and then send them all in to the third which is 118 miles.
speedbird Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 i do the aame as above i left 15 at home mainly the ones that are bit wild & fly till the cows come home & new if they came from the 1st race probably would fly round putting the others on edge
MsPigeon Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 Good Job!! Snowy and Westy!!! I remember my first race, I waited and waited till they called to tell me it was time for knock off and I still had not seen a feather. I only had 10 birds and only got part of them back. By the end of the season I had only one bird left. So your first race and your plan for the season is a GOOD one!!! Carol
jimmy white Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 that race was just a wee trial for you, as you say youve got them training well this week, so the best of luck to you this week comming,snowy and westy
Mike Lycett Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 We never ever enter the first 2 YB races. We train to Bromsgrove too which is about 29 miles & then they go to Wincanton - 118. If they can't handle that - both in returning fast & being competitive then they aint no use to us.
pender Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 3 tosses 6 mile 2 tosses 10 mile first race 64 mile 21 sent 20 home first bird timed 4 min behind winners none slept out so i very pleased with my first race
jimmy white Posted August 7, 2006 Report Posted August 7, 2006 you did better this week snowy, a year ago a rabbit hutch, now on the result and not too bad at that either,, keep em going, youll do it
THE FIFER Posted August 8, 2006 Report Posted August 8, 2006 HAD WHAT I HAVE LEFT 12 YBS ALONG TO BURNTISLAND AND GAVE THE SINGLE TOSSING, I THINK THIS IS WHAT A LOT OF BIRDS NEED, AS GETTING TRAINED IN LARGE GROUPS THEY ARE ONLY FOLLOWING THE BATCH, THEN WHEN IN A RACE AND ON THEIR OWN THEY GO DOWN
