E.T.S

[Guest Dublin lofts]

will ets get voted in this year in southern ireland

and if so will it be good for the sport here as 3 lads

in our club said they would jack it in .

[jack]

i think it is bad for the sport and more money

 

the system is about 500 euro and you only get one pad

extra pad are 150 euro

 

it is not for me and it opens windows for cheathing belive me it can be done

 

we need new transportors first

[Guest Dublin lofts]

its not for me either but all the old timers are

pushing for it

[jack]

ya you and anto ha ha

 

not over the northside  no one wants it

but it is going to come in thats for shure

[Guest Dublin lofts]

jack did u fix anto nest box yet

[gangster]

iot will come guys but the cheating part i dont think so ....depends on were the pads are placed as per the union ruling......it wont make your birds fly faster thats a fact....

[bird man of meath]

if  e,t,s are 500  how much are clock then

[Guest Dublin lofts]

one lad has a new trap on his loft just waiting for it

to come in were he will put the pads on the landing board

so the birds are not in the loft when they are clocked

and can still fly up on the house roof can this be right

[Guest anto]

its coming boys the sooner the better should have got

foted in last year lost out by one vote you cant stop

progress

[kadet123]

its not been recognised by the nwhu but hopefully will be but i doubt it very much

[Guest Dublin lofts]

talking to lads from bray they fly isrf there club

will be voting against it ,it a big club

[Guest anto]

very well said vallence there under enough stress

as it is

[jack]

if it comes in to dublin i can see alot of people geting out of pigeons

for this reson alone i am happy the way things are.

 

dont get me wrong i think the system works very well

 

and for (dublin lofts )you can not have the pads outside your loft

the bird has to go true the trap

 

but how will people no were it is on race day is someone going to go around to check all 500 lofts in dublin every week i do not think so

 

it will be a mess in dublin you can count on it

as it is even hard to get people load the transporter

Hi, At Telford last weekend I was told by Ray Knight, Unikon are going to let flyers have HP.  This should help with the cost as you can pay it off bit by bit.  It will help the younger flyers and the Older ones as well.

Pads should be sealed inside the loft by club official(s) in a set position and a random check done to see if they are tampered with. That should eleviate people from moving them

[Merlin]

I would have no objection to using E.T.S. its down to a vote,its called Democracy,if passed the choice is there to use it,or not to,I personally would if only for the fact its less stressful on the birds.

IMO this is a good move, i think taurus has also done this. the more accessible ets is to all the better. i think that pads should be placed wherever the fancier likes as the current rule is just about un-enforceable. democracy only counts for ets until it wins...for instance last year you may have voted ets out...but its back this year. if its voted in this will there be a vote next year to remove it....no. there does IMO need to be some time allowance and the removal of obligation from club officers to use it (clubwise). ets will be accepted a lot quicker if its 'champions' are willing to compromise JMO.

HY YOU DONT HAVE TO RUN AROUND 500 LOFTS .IF EACH SEC OR PRES SEALS THE PADS INTO PLACE IE INSIDE THE LOFT. AND THE SEAL NUMBERS NOTED DOWN FOR REFORENCE

THATS ALL THAT HAS TO BE DONE. I HAVE HAD THE ETS FOR 7 YEARS NOW AND IT IS

THE BEST SYSTEM FOR THE BIRDS AND MYSELF .

[gd]

cannot imagine why anyone in their right mind would be against ets, other than they simply don't want to change.

 

I'm recently coming back into the sport and am looking forward to using ets rather than chasing around after a bird knackered after a hard race to enable a quick strike of the clock.

 

plus I work away from home so this will enable my wife to time in the returns from a race , she's okay with feeding and exercising the birds but thats about as much a she will do , so it'll more or less double my races

[Guest pigeon82]

i was told off my dad that there was a bloke in cornwall somewhere who had ets and his system went wrong in a race stopped or summit he won by miles but he was then kicked out the club be careful with ets i think not for me cudnt risk that

[jack]

so how  dose this be sealed in your loft then whittaker
