Chris Little Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Oooh it's a touchy subject that one ;D
andrew Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 very good idea good to see club moving with times
Chatrace Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 We use Benzing and like all there clocks, no problems and good service on troubleshooting here . I use the cheaper EXPRESS and can have 8 races going and holds for 500 birds in data base
blue bar Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 once you have used ETS you wont go back to manual clocks i ve used one for 3years now
Wiley Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 it is a touchy subject,lol i will probably get critisised now but i still would like to race to the old methods,bird coming home making him trap in and to get hold of the bird take the rubber off and time him in,but i can see the good points of the ets but i can also see some bad points
Guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 :)There is a poll on here for ETS asking yes or no ? Please read it through i think it may help you! BEST OF LUCK , yours in sport . Andy .
Guest CS Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 E.T.S YES OR NO http://www.pigeonbasics.com/forum/blah/m-1134416640/
william Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 my club rosewell whc have members who have been using ets for the past two seasons and i must say it is so simple to use i would recomend it to anyone thinking of buying it
cemetary Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Square peg, The next time you are along at methilhill the guys along there will help you in any - way with what you want to no about the ETS system, There is always one of the guys there on a monday night, or you may get 2-3 who use it in our club, fire the questions/queries you have to them they will keep you up-to date mate. Speak to you when i get home.
Guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 i tend to go for the side that prefers the old method ,ets is a god send for flyers who are disabled ,this will enable them to participate in the sport . as wiley said..i prefer the old method cause i feel ur more involved with the race...just sitting watching a bird enter ur cot isnt my cup of tea. just my opinion.
Guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Used both Benzing and Unikon, think it's the best thing since sliced bread, of the two I've used I prefer the Unikon.
Pompey Mick Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Is there a computer race program available that will take both ETS and traditional timings for Club race results. What programs are in use in Scotland?
Roland Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Wynn will, also are merit, goldern Ring, averages etc. and can do the breeding, training and racing for your own loft... and always able to go stariaght in and see your, fed... whatever is relevant
square_peg Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Posted October 9, 2006 THANKS BUT "ROUND THE HOUSES "ANSWERS DONT REALLY HELP ME I HAVE ASKED QUESTIONS ON ETS ON OTHER THREAD,BUT ,NO REPLY JUST THOUGHT WITH IT BEING THE MAJOR PLAYER IN A LOT OF THE "BREAKAWAYS" HERE IN SCOTLAND I WOULD GET MORE INFO, WE WILL FIND OUT WHEN WE GET A DEMO BY THE SALESMAN,AND HOPEFULLY ALL QUERIES WILL BE ANSWERED
Guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 I think equipping the whole club is the way to go. Nobody can then claim to be disadvantaged, which I think you'll find is the main complaint. And if you can get someone else to pay for it - a grant - even better. Definitely way to go. Easier on the fancier [age and disability leveller] easier on the birds and an absolute dream on marking nights.
fifestay Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 Archie ...did you get a grant for Novar .....
THE FIFER Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 I THINK THEY ARE WAITING THE OUTCOME OF A MEETING STILL TO COME TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO APPLY FOR, IE ETS OR T3s I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF APPLYING FOR LEVEN CLUB. FOR ETS. (THIS IS THE OTHER ARCHIE)
fifestay Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 Archie Fifer ....Are you going the Lottery or Coalfields route
square_peg Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Posted October 10, 2006 WE KDY NOVAR ARE IN FOR LOTTERY GRANT OUR MEMBERS FEEL THIS IS THE WAY TO GO I KNOW SOME FANCIERS WILL SAY ,THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE GETTING ETS IS BECAUSE YOU ARE GETTING IT FOR NOWT.I FOR ONE COULD NOT AFFORD TO BUY IT . BUT IF WE ALL THINK OF THE MONEY,THOUSANDS,WE HAVE ALL GAVE TO GOOD CAUSES OUTSIDE OF THE DOO WORLD,THEN I HONESTLEY THINK ITS TIME THE DOO GAME GOT SOMETHING BACK
