Do you really need ETS

[DOVEScot]

We've just got our Unikon system for the Club members thanks to the Lottery fund, but personally I don't think I would buy it, but then I said that about the T3's when they first came out. Too dear I said, now I've got two.

I think once the furore about the extra seconds being gained on trapping, or rather, less time being lost, fanciers will begin to realise the other benefits that ETS brings to the Sport. Whether we like it or not, modern day living crams more into people's schedules than they can sometimes handle, and ETS gives the sport of Pigeon Racing the flexibility that manual clocking cannot

. No longer is the fancier tied to the loft, promised days out will no longer have to be cancelled due to the dreaded holdover or late lib. Weddings can be attended, no need to call in sick or miss a days pay when they're heldover till the Monday. We all want to be there for the birds but at least ETS is there for you should emergencies occur, your own Silent Partner.

As a working fancier who takes the birds to work for training purposes it will be very nice to be able to see exactly how they come, I also belong to a Mid-week Club which brings its own problems, but ETS will be there should the birds have to be liberated early.

Just like the T3s when they first came out ETS will be considered a 'luxury item', but give it 10yrs

 

Best answer yet Mick, welcome to the 21st century   ;)
