the rings get put on the birds  before the race season begins your club should arange a date to do all the marking then the ring stays on that birds you can remove them but they need to be re-assigned if you want to race it on another bird

That's why some say the system should be free or at least cheaper, becuase of the money they will make on the rings :-/

[THE FIFER]

it costs money for the rings, but look at the money the club saves not having to buy rubbers which can only be used once, ets are used year after year, you lose them if you lose birds,

That may be a lot of rings some years, dead birds will be robbed of rings, maybe even lost ones > > >

AH KNOW THAT ALF, BUT I WOULD NOT MIND THE RING CONTRACT, WE MAYBE GET DEALS ONCE THINGS SETTLE DOWN AND SALES SLOW DOWN

i don't think anyone else can mark the ring in on a different bird as each ring has a different no' and when youve raced with it the rpar has a record of this no'

thats why i asked if they could be removed  ;D because if so and can be used by someone else they will be plenty of birds return with them missing  :-/saves the expense of buying new ones :-/

 

[EAGLEOWL]

By what i can make out our clubs still going have use rubbers even if you are using ets

 

 

why if there not needed

:-/

yes, most rings are lost by puting them on young birds for training, better not puting them on til they are well on the way, but i think if the bird is worth puting into a race its worth a ring, also it is still on the plans yet but they are trying to get the ets inserted in the union ring so it will be just the one ring, i think the all the good things about ets out bids the price of the ring,

IF ETS FAILS THEN YOU HAVE A BACK UP WITH THE RUBBERS

[DOVEScot]

THE CHIP CAN BE RESET :-/

[EAGLEOWL]

 

IF ETS FAILS THEN YOU HAVE A BACK UP WITH THE RUBBERS

 

so you still need your other clock settung then  :-/

 

[Guest dogeon]

i thought that if the ets failed then that was down to you ie power cut, as you can buy the battery back up lead  ;D.  why would anyone who choose ets use rubbers, look at the time it will take at marking ill stick to just the ets.

[THE FIFER]

 

THE CHIP CAN BE RESET :-/

 

only by the clocksetters who have all the data and equipment, when rings are assigned to a member their union number is put into thre ring, and can only be changed by the setters with the equipment,

 

 

[EAGLEOWL]

it costs money for the rings, but look at the money the club saves not having to buy rubbers which can only be used once, ets are used year after year, you lose them if you lose birds,

 

 

race rubbers £22.00 a thousand

ets rings £1.30 each x 1000  :-/

HI ARCHIE I THOUGHT ABOUT THE LOSING Y/B'S IN TRAINING FACTOR BEFORE I PUT THE RINGS ON ASWELL THATS WHY I GAVE THEM 20 TOSSES BEFORE I ETS RUNG THEM ALL BUT I HAD ONLY LOST 1 Y/B IN THAT TIME SO DIDNAE REALLY MAKE ANY DIFFERRANCE MATE 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

with such huge losses this last season with young birds in some federations and the up north combine races , i can tell you theres been plenty gone missing  :-/

I am not saying you need both, but maybe some maybe use both incase their ETS fails then they have a backup in place :-/

[THE FIFER]

 

so you still need your other clock settung then  :-/

 

 

well you can but dont have too we dont that's one of the good things about ets no setting clocks or puting in rolls and ink pads, also when you get ur time from an ets all times are correct no geusing where pointers are on conventional clocks, or working out slow or fast clocks, also now ets works out the velocity, as said well worth the price of rings, you only lose them if you lose birds,

 

[EAGLEOWL]

 

No its an international rule they still using rubbers over there as well

 

so the club still needs to buy rubbers  :-/
