[Guest mr mrs arnold sons]

Hi Jimmy

Its looks good Best Wishes to you and your family for Christmas and a successfull 2009

I would go for 2 extra pads to cover the area in front of bob wires and block off the 2 side bits as birds will land and walk about on bear wood areas.

[frank-123]

make sure it is well tested before you use it on race days jimmy

i would put it under the bob wires a wee bit just so they stand on them just in case they miss the pad

[gooner]

if it is open doors to that section what stops the birds from being timed then flyuing back out, if there is nothing then my own opinion is that the pads are not within the confines of the loft. just my opinion

[stephen steyert]

confines does not mean confined problems with ETS rules they are open to interpretation

[Guest j.bamling]

thats a sliding plastic door on the front if i slide that along after the bird flys in then its inside the loft simple as that !!!

shouldn't matter...after all after timing a conventional bird you could let it go again to fly round (not alot of point though). if you leave pads there all the time they'll get grubby...but if you only use them raceday will it 'spook' them while trapping. perhaps a false floor for them to cross daily then place pad underneath on raceday...i havn't got ets yet so i may be talking 'the proverbial'

[retired]

The birds in my trap can clock and if they wish then get back out as the bob wires sit after the pad as shown here - http://forum.pigeonbasics.com/m-1229617673/

 

The rule is open to interpretation so i have gone along with my view of the rule.

[Guest j.bamling]

well i have been thinking about placing them on the underside of the plywood !!!

[stephen steyert]

i have just set 2 systems up this last week at different  lofts , both systems i placed the pads under the ply wood

 

well i have been thinking about placing them on the underside of the plywood !!!

Confines means kept within, confined also means kept within. in both cases the rule is referring to the pads and not the birds.

Definately better under the plywood Jimmy, keeps them clean and the birds won't know if the pads are there or not so no spooking

yes mate i agree i will shift them tomorrow !!!

[Guest tom123]

i would advise you to put a batton of timber in between the centre of the pads ,this directs birds across the centre of the pad

has they have ben known to miss an entry if theres a dead spot

[gangster]

the only thing i see you need 2 do is put something in the middle between the pads in the centre between your bobs 2 stop any coming in between thje pads field if you can understand me maybe a piece of ply cut 2 an angle....that will stop em..........more likely 2 miss if you have multi arrivals

[Guest tom123]

snap gangster lol

[Guest karl adams]

i think the trouble with the ets is the rules are at a minimum and are miss leading witch is y there is so many problems i think a good set of rules should of been put in place before it was let in

[gangster]

im afraid its not being policed by club officals enough...

Well spotted Mick, although if it was me I would join the pads together underneath then narrow the entrance (with angled plywood if you wish) so there are no dead spots

[Guest karl adams]

clubs are folding as its causing to much grief members are dropping out of clubs it is also causing members to fall out with each other after being friends for years
