Guest bristolkev Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 well i took my team of 23 young un`s for there first 12mile toss and after nearly 2 hours i only have 2 home and its nearly dark now :'(
mark163 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 start off at 4 mile then 10 at 14 mile 1at 22mile 1at 28 mile 1at 35 mile then back to 14 mile then i stay there for the rest of the season monday to friday with this training i have had good results with young birds the last 2 seasons only been off the fed sheet once in 15 races young bird fed average winner 2005 club average winner 2004/2005 first fed race 2004 first 8 in club 305 birds and in fed 1.2.3.4.5.7.8.9th 1172 birds
Pompey Mick Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 First toss about half a mile, then I have given them about six from about two Mls (by the Spinnaker tower ) they will have three from about ten mls, then as many as I can from 25mls. But it's all about confidence, you can't teach them to home, only to race.
peterpau Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 Well Kev I stick to 12mls as this seems to be a good spot. It used to be 10mls, but we moved and still use the same spot. Rose that doesn't sound so different to us as 12mls 100mls 154mls 189mls and into Perth 297mls for our distance birds. (Sorry what other type are there) LOL. We were at the coast training Sunday, about 130mls. See other threads about 7 days Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Guest WINGS 04 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 ME YOUNG BIRDS START OF WITH A 1/2 MILE OUT THE BASKET THEN GO TO 10MILES TILL THEY ARE BACK BEFOR ME THEN ON TO 20 MILES SAME AGAIN THEN THEY GO TO 26 MILES AS MANY AS I CAN GET IN TO THEM BEFOR THE FIRST RACE BUT THEY MUST TRAP WHEN THEY COME BACK AS THIS IS WHERE YOUNG BIRD RACING IS WON AND LOST THEY ALSO FLY AT NIGHT FOR 1 HOUR
Guest bristolkev Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 i had 2 back last night and 8 back today so far,still 13 missing.the reason i trained in the evening is because i bought the book east 2 west by kevin sparkes.In there he says he trains his young birds in the evening before too many pigeons get in the sky.if they make a mistake they cannot fly themselves into exhaustion in the heat of the day and have a greater chance to correct their mistakes the following day.
Guest bristolkev Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 oops sorry not kevin sparkes i ment kevin hurst.
peterpau Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 Kev I would train in the evening and I go 12mls but for me anywhere Southam area works great but if I move on to Banbury it's like a black hole. Dunno if anyone else has found Bad spots to train.
JAS Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 We go 12mls first toss this year been the worst ever dropped five so far. Four on the first toss and 1 on the third toss.
Diamond dave Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 That is the same method I use Kev. - I dont even let mine out in the mornings until they have been trained up to ten miles in the later evening. Glad to hear youve got some back mate . These ones will be all the better for their experience but the clever ones are the ones that came back last night - cos they've done it on thier own.
rockinrick Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 50 MILES FOR THEIR FIRST TOSS ?? no sorry last toss before racing is upto 65ml not first toss
Henrik Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 Took the 20 later ones 20mls tday still 3 to come home.
Guest bristolkev Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 4 more back today....9 still missing :'(
