15 old birds and 20 young birds

[tubbles]

The most i sent was 15 old birds ( thats all the boxes i have ) 20 yb in a club race cos we race in a 20 bird limit club. We have a number of no limit clubs around here but they seem to be dominated now by just the one flyer each time, members sending is at an all time low, not saying it is because of the 'Mobflyers' but our 20 bird limit has only seen a drop in numbers because of people dying or just leaving the sport for other reasons. One of the clubs with no limit was one of the biggest around here with 40-odd members is now down to just ten-fifteen with the members leaving and joining other clubs that race to a limit.

 

Draw your own conclusions.
