whats your thoughts on training y/bs twice a day from 16 miles

 

[pender]

if you want to win y/b races yes keep doing it, if you just want to educate them then one is enough

  I WOULD TRAIN YB'S TWICE A DAY IF THEY WOULD NOT FLY AROUND HOME

 

  THAT WOULD BE AFTER CHECKING THEY WHERE HEALTHY OF COURSE

 

  BUT TOUCH WOOD MY YBS ARE FLYING WELL AROUND HOME

 

  I WOULD HAVE TO AGREE WITH PENDER'S  POST

Sean,

         I believe the same as Matthew.  

We don't train our pigeons to find their way home, they either know it or they don't.  We train to educate and get/keep them fit.  

Now my youngsters go twice a day to 18 miles and I am very reluctant to train them any farther.  Now 18 miles takes 25/30 minutes or less.  In total, thats less than 60 minutes a day exercise.  That shouldn't harm any pigeon and by training twice a day, they get to know every blade of grass on the final countdown to the loft.  As I've said before, they don't get fed up with the basket, THEY GET USED TO IT.

In training twice a day any that show any signs of weakness, shouldn't be there.

Didn't do Dean Pallet any harm lol don't think he trained from more that 16 miles
