Best Sprint Birds

[pjc]

Plot up somewhere adjacent to the M11 and you’ll be quid’s red cards in

 

 

I was at Buckhurst Hill looking across the M11 and the birds streamed down there!

In Ireland then would have to say Jimmy Hamilton in the south and probably John Patterson in the north. Jimmy has awful loft position but dominates his section and has had good open wins.

In Belgium, I think Stickers – Donckers (Lille) are the best.

[Guest spin cycle]

IMO a decent jannsen is as good as anything

[Roundo]

For me upto 250 miles it has to be the Gaby Vandenabeele's.....unstoppable!!!

I've tried varies sprint families over the years, but nothing can compete with these, and they've proved it again this year.

 

At the end of the day, it's what works for the fancier.

For me in sprint racing it's all about systems and position and wind direction on the day. Flying in a Fed like mine where the majority are inland fanciers (to the coast), flying for big money every week the competition is as hot as you'll get anywhere in the country, I've found that some breeds of sprint pigeons can't hack a head wind or a lack of sun, or a bit of rain. However I've tried a lot of them over the years and for me the Van Reets tick all the boxes, weather/wind conditions.

Agree wae Andy. Would also add that feedin is everything when you want tae win sprinting.
