Lanarkshire federation tried this at a young bird race from Otterburn this year ad the birds would not come out the transporter, they had to go round and chase them out the baskets.

I was under the impression it was common knowledge, but it is a fact, just ask anybody who flies in Lanarkshire

I picked up the post at the time, was at Otterburn I think, and it said the rocket had been let-off too close to the transporter. My personal opinion at the time was the tone of the post was nothing short of a cheap jibe at folk doing their best for the pigeons..

 

Here we have a case of people in charge of the pigeons trying out something for the very first time [in Scotland at least] - letting rockets go prior to liberating the pigeons because peregrine had attacked several Feds' convoys there the week before. So maybe the guy got the logistics and positioning wrong - so what? There's a first time for everything and folk make mistakes, but important thing is we all learn from that mistake and have a better chance of getting it right on the next go.

 

In my opinion, all pigeon transporters should carry them, and at least one fired 15 or so minutes prior to liberation ... followed closely by the convoyer  ;D.

THEY LET TWO OFF BRUNO, DID HEAR THEY  WERE A BIT TOO CLOSE TO TRANSPORTER BUT THINK THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WAS NOT WAITING LONG ENOUGH BEFORE LETTING BIRDS GO, BUT WAS A GOOD IDEA IN PRINCIPLE
