2 rubbers 1 thimble

[Guest paulrstokes]

Hi Guys

 

Since the introduction of ETS is it correct that a member can put 2 rubbers into one thimble?

 

Someone did it yesterday at our club, and to say it started a heated debate is an understatement.

 

Many Thanks

[pjc]

it depends where you are Paul, there seems to be confusion between unions.

We are in the RPRA

[pjc]

Best check the RPRA rule book on there site but I believe yo can put as many as you like in a thimble now.

Just looked it says if more than one in a thimble then the thimble is disqualified

I brought this up on a previous posting, asking Why? these guys with ets can have a timing advantage over the printer clocks. They can time  pigeons on the same second , yet printers can't. SOMEBODY SORT IT SOMEWHERE, PLEASE!  How I ask  you, can we have such  conflicting timing in procedures ?

[Taylorsloft]

buy a ets clock   :P :P :P

buy a ets clock   :P :P :P

 

yes the best thing that's happened to pigeon racing for a long time, just try it out and you will realise what ur missing,

rpra rules state that only 1 rubber to be inserted in 1 thimble

i think it stinks but it was proposed and  rejected that more than 1 was allowed on the rpra agm

Clock? System you mean! The RPRA HAD to accept the SYSTEM to fall in line with their continental counterparts. One "Rip Off" from the beginning. It hasn't passed unnoticed that most of you Scottish lads, got it for free gratis, on which I applaud you. But for somebody to tell me to discard true timing  in of pigeons, ,  AND telling me to join the rip off system leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

2 in the thimble excepted in the welsh north road fed...cant see the problem..its ur fault if u stop to put in two and lose time,so shouldnt be an issue with unions..but each to their own i spose.

Well I dont think it was a rip off and I paid for my system out of my own pocket. Got to agree with Fifer once you have it you would never go back. The thrill is seeing the bird arrive and no stress about getting the rubber off and in the clock

I wonder how many with ETS sit out in incliment weather in the allotments to clock their birds most are probably out shopping with the wife.

I suppose it's called compromise

I’d rather sit through a tornado on a mountain top than go shopping with the wife.

i've had ETS since the beginning of last season and have only missed the doos coming home once and that was only because i had to work so you cant go saying that because people have ETS they are'nt there as there are 6 of us on our allotment compound that all have ETS and have hardly missed a race since we got the systems!

Cant think of any wife in there right mind that would want take their husband shopping with them only one thing they need to take with them is your money you can stay at home ;D ;D ;D

 

I'll rephrase that, I’d rather sit on my wallet through a tornado on a mountain top than go shopping with the wife.

Vic -- ETS can have birds entering 4 to 6 different access points but only need one clock (six different entry points) you are only allowed ONE clock doesn't matter how many access points you have - but then rules are rules and we abide by them after all it's a democracy and it was voted in .

[pjc]

my wife has to remind me what my pin number is! :B
