gangster Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 ive got 2 im gonna cut a piece out either side big enough for pad to slip into plus a piece of ply above, the ply will be level with lip when board is down this will allow them to walk in towards the bob wires as i feel they will hesitate if they have to drop down if you understand my meaning...

Guest peter.j Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 i converted my sputnic and put the pad near enough level with the landing board they wouldnt entertain it unil they had to drop on the board only 2 or 3 inch drop but a drop......pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 i converted my sputnic and put the pad near enough level with the landing board they wouldnt entertain it unil they had to drop on the board only 2 or 3 inch drop but a drop......pete same here but my pad is in a false floor 2" above the original one with bob wires fitted to the back so the other birds still in the loft dont register on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ROCKYandRAMBO Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 well the bird is ment to be in the shed or trap when timed so if its under the board where they land he isint in the shed or trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy123 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 so what your saying is that i am breakin the rules, its still in the confind of the loft tho, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ROCKYandRAMBO Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 yes you are breaking the rules and if any club official should see it you would have to change it the trap may be in the loft but the bird has to be timed in the loft also not on the trap . prohaps i should buy loads of pads and line them all under my loft roof so all my birds have to do is land on the roof my pads would still be in the loft !!!

But they would still be home from the race. What I don't understand is if you have an open door your bird can fly in and you remove the rubber then let the bird go is this breaking the rules do you have to confine the bird???

wings Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 here,is my ets traps do the birds cross the pad before they go through the bob wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dal2 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 same here but my pad is in a false floor 2" above the original one with bob wires fitted to the back so the other birds still in the loft dont register on it The birds in the loft shouldnt be registered for the race so shouldnt register on the pad?
