hi Fred,They trap you have at present should do the job,just modify what you have by making sure tou have a 30-40mm gap directly under it to allow for apair of runners on a piece of ply,so you can slide the ply out from under the trap racedays,thereby clocking your birds as they hit your dropboard,instead of going in.

THIS IS ILLEGAL. YOU CLOCK/TIME THE BIRDS AFTER THEY ENTER THE LOFT NOT WHILE ITS STILL OUT AND FREE TO COME AND GO.

Sorry Brian,re-read the RPRA rules again nothing illegal with runners mate.

pads must be in the confines of the loft, under a sputnick you may get away with as the birds can not take off again

We have read and re-read the rules(very badly thought out by some moroon )and i am quite sure this would win in a court of law.for sure

runners or no runners the bird must be inside the loft,(not able to take off again)a bird on the drop/landing board has not trapped yet & if it had a 'rubber' ring on then u wouldnt b able to time it in untill it came in and you got ur hands on it to remove the ring.

dident meen to start an argument , just wanted to see some photos of traps ,,, but i do agree the bird must  be traped in  side the loft and not able to fly off at time of hitting the est board
