like you say davy how many tosses has he had, 2 or 3 from 26 miles should be fine or if they are coming well enough. i had 6 tosses in all

2 from 6 miles 2 from 20 miles and 2 from 30 miles before the 1st race at 66 miles , 2 races in and dropped just 2

Had my first young bird race last week, they were trained to about 35 miles, coast and inland - but in previous years we have only managed to get them to 25 miles, and they were fine

Had my first Y/b race last week. Only 1 toss from bout 5mls then into 61mls race finished 2nd and dropped one. Not the ideal prep I know but I dont drive and my mate couldnt get the week off to toss them as we usually do,but has all worked out so far touch wood

i wouldnt stop training when you start racing, youngbirds need to be constantly reminded they are racing home and not just flying home.

education is everything when they are young..they will race ok but fall at the wayside when they face a tough one if not educated.

Patience is a virtue m8, do not be too eager to make the first race, give your youngsters a fair chance, and give them more training tosseshttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif
