Young Bird Training Opinions

[Wiley]

What is your opinion on the distance you should take your youngsters on there first toss. i've always taken them first toss 20 mile after 3-4 tosses they usually get there head round it and do good time. However i hear many start with small distance and increase what is your opinions on what is better?

10 miles

i like a 5 mile toss to start with , if the young birds have been ranging well then they would of covered this easily , but i believe better to release them closer to home as 1 gets them used to been basketed , and 2 better to be familiar with the area and build there confidence and if get a bad toss at 5 mile there more likely to wander back , once there covering a to b well move them on it's not about fitness its more about gaining there confidence and get them ready for what's ahead of them imo

3 or 4 from 20 miles then onto 45 miles, have done this for the last 20+ years. I always start them of on nice days with broken cloud, I avoid days when its wall to wall sunshine.

if we started at 20 miles in cornwall, we wouldnt see most of them again , dont ask me why but every one is the same :/
