Guest Gareth Rankin Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Has to be pointed out that there are pro's and con's to all the ETS systems, but they are all very good at doing the job that they were built for.
Guest youngzimmy Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I DISNA MATTER WHIT PEOPLE SAY AND THE PROS AND CONS I WILL JUST STICK TO MY UNICON
pjc Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 What are we suposed to do with the other half of the team? OK HAHA LOGICALY YOU ARE NOT HANDLING THE BIRD WHICH IS NO DOUBT STRESSED ENOUGH WITH COMPETING IN THE RACE NO MORE CHASING IT ROUND THE LOFT TO GET THE RUBBER RING OFF ITS LEG BEFORE YOU CAN CLOCK IT IN AND THE DOO DISNA HUV A ME,ORY AT THE NEXT RACE WHAT HAPPENED AT ITS LAST RACE AND DECIDES TO SIT ON THE ROOF never catch the birds when they home, certainly don't chase them around the loft, thats what stall traps are for, no stress!
Guest youngzimmy Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 BUT UNFORTUNATLY IT DOES HAPPEN
Guest Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 WAS TOLD TO HAVE A CLOCK AS A BACK UP SYSTEM,INCASE OF ANY DISASTERS yes i think thats a good idea any clock can let you down just when you dont need
Guest spin cycle Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 what would the members think would be the best clock for someone starting to race pigeons.considering cost,reliability spares etc. this was the original question. of course ets is probably best because its the future...but for someone starting out ,IMO, wind up stb. i bought mine in 2005 for £50 and its done three seasons already. if i chuck it away now its still less than £17/season. don't t3s need servicing...and a newbie might change their mind after a bit so not worth laying out on ets initially.
Guest Owen Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I have Bricon ETS and it is wonderful. I have three or four STBs and a good Toulet. Swap me something and you can have one of those if you like. Where do you live? I am at Talywain near Pontypool, South Wales.
Guest Vic Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Although I will be using a STB this coming season. They have surely passed their sell by date. They can only be worth their postage cost, don't you think? lol
fred x Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I'm all for the ETS, it gives every one a fair chance once the pigeon has trapped. a lot of races has been lost after the pigeon has trapped, when you had to get hold of the bird take it's rubber off & time it in. For the senior members we are not as fast moving as we used tobe it is a god send THE DOWN SIDE OF THE ETS, If for any reason some thing went wrong with it on race day you have no backup. :'( With a Old system you can allways have a spear clock as stand by :K)
PATTY BHOY Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 thanks folks,now have a clock.
Guest youngzimmy Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 OH THATS NO FAIR YOU GETTING A CLOCK JUST WHEN I WAS ENJOYING MYSELF GOOD LUCK WITH IT HOPE IT SERVES YOU WELL
