OLDYELLOW Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 3rd toss 20 miles very pleased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnQuinn Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Today was supposed to be the first toss for my lot but the rain hasn't halted all day, same tomorrow too so looks like Wednesday before i can get a toss into them. Its forecast for nice sunny weather Wednesday so i'll just start them at 20mls instead of the usual 12, will go Very early with them in the hope they don't clash en route, same again Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday then into the training van next week before sending to the 2nd race in the program. Plan is then to get them on the van twice a week until race 5 then stop for the season, canny wait tae see the back of it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wall to wall sunshine here which I dont like but, going to be a hot one today.All home in double quick time, shame they couldn't get the 2nd bit right as they flew round for 10 minutes before dropping. 3/4 rations today, see if they can do it right tomorrow.

Depends how big your fed spans out and if your a deep flier or not, the deeper in the fed you are the more chance you'll get them. I personally wouldn't send them unless I could get another couple of tosses in this week from at least 15 mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie1234 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Looks like a very sticky one for me today 20 miles 1hr and 15mins later not a feather 38 youngbirds awol then I had to leave for work, will go back over at lunchtime see what the script is. only positive really is if they do come it will help sort them out a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully if the weather changes for the better I could take them Today,Wed & Thurs out to 20 miles will have to see after work at 3pm.The fed will have about 5000 birds away and with mines not having been in a training van or with any other birds would this have an effect? Good or Bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
