Clocking multiple pigeons

[The Navigator]

I won the club race by 34yds today.

 

I had eight come together. I only wanted 1 registered as I do not see the point having the rest done, unless its a national or classic race. I believe other members sometimes do not deserve to be pushed down the sheet when its only a fed race. What do you think. 28 out of 29 so overall a decent race.

Good on yer mate   ;)

 

Far too many wanabees clocking loads of birds, its a continental thing, 'wahaay look at me, look many birds I have clocked'

 

It just adds to the spin for adverts later in the year

[Guest kev d]

spot on chris well said .

always clock a second bird as if the 1st 1 is thrown out for some reason the 2nd is a backup

and keeps you in averages etc

 

well done on your win

It is ETS so I am covered with that one.

don't see the problem  clocking  all the birds, they are paid for like the rest of them, so  it would give  fanciers false hope,  not knowing you had  ten in before them  and every week  they  think they are second to you,  but might be 15 Min  of difference  in time, and  for  by that  there are clubs who have  club pools,  to contest  

[THE FIFER]

I wouldnt like to win a place knowing there was birds in before me but not clocked, thats not racing really is it,

[rick]

the same bloke took the first 13 positions last week severn valley fed and fair play to him

[just ask me]

 

what do u mean mate sorry

 

sorry should have explained it better if your club only allows the first 4 birds

 

lets say u have 10 birds clocked with all 10 in with a chance of getting a national position will your club just pass on the first 4 or will all 10 birds times go to the national for the result hope this makes sense

Spot on for me.

If a fancier is putting 10 before me i will aim to make it only 5 then only 3 and so on.

yeah get u now lol they will just pass on the 4 mate, with us it doesnt have to be your first 4 for example your first 3 and your pooler is 7th back you can have that as your 4th if that makes sense but its only ever the 4

i also agree...personally i've far more respect for a fancier who wins but only clocks 2 than someone who fills their clock. ok so the first guy gives some cards away...so what....it helps those fanciers just starting and those who perhaps not as wealthy or strong...but who provide the competition and do the work.

[VAGIN]

If you PAY for 10 birds to go to a race Then the results stands

[Guest Grasshopper Lofts]

i think when clubs have ets and manual clocks its a little fairer to impose a limit of some kind just to make it a little fairer, also gives new starters a bit of hope, after all isnt that what its about getting more people interested in this great sport

Excellent post my friend

 

The so called superstars with their fancy race results forget about the backbone of our sport, the guys who are content on getting in the tail end of a prizelist

 

ETS has capitalised this to the extreme
