What Temperature

[Diamond dave]

What temperature do members think is ideal for training/racing. Or rather what temperature would you consider too low for racing/training - especially for yearlings and young birds.

really safer waiting till temp is 12 deg,, but folks training well below this,,,but  often these birds dont last the season,,,, my opinion only

i will agree with jimmy 12 up i will train below that but short 10 mile tosses

I look to get mine going around the 14-15C mark but even then if there's any east in the wind they'll stop at home.

Had two tosses this week from 20mls at 10 degrees and I think that is as low as I would like to train in although the birds rompped home in 18 and 20mins.
