walterboswell59 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Hi Walter your bang on on your posts am like you I want to win every race I enter if I didn't think the birds were right to win I'd keep them another week in the house if you enter birds and set a clock your trying to win simple as that. I can remember when I started up in galston there was five doo men within 100 yds of me and even from a club toss I want a doo drop to me first and that's without clocks set !! There's a guy in my club he moved down here from the Blantyre area he's the same when he doesn't win his excuse is we're all too serious it's just a hobby to him yet he's been telling the same stories about his alleged winners 30 years ago in Blantyre and during the racing season his car does more miles than a space shuttle that tell me all I need to know am to long in the wids to be fkd about by an owl !!aye young george will learn to take what some doo men say with a pinch of salt and bye the way tell that guy hes a bum a f k cause there wis nae good fanciers in blantyre 30 years ago lol
walterboswell59 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 there were 2 members in my old club Netherburn who always said the same thing you are telling Walter,the short races are the weans races or just trainers but as you say when they win a short race then it is a different matter they are cock a hoop,me I love to watch my birds coming from anywhere but I do get more of a buzz when they are over the water at 500 odd miles,I was like a loony last year when I watched our grizzle hen coming from Saintes to win what was her last race,she is now in the stock loft but I was just as happy when our red chequer hen came home over a week later [well almost!!! ]no wonder tam a great pigeon your grizzle m8 i agree the about the buzz in the longer races maybe its because the longer you wait the bigger the relief when we get one mixed with thank f k lol
moscow master Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 aye young george will learn to take what some doo men say with a pinch of salt and bye the way tell that guy hes a bum a f k cause there wis nae good fanciers in blantyre 30 years ago lolHaaa brilliant Walter

ALF Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 I know who you are talking about aswell i met him at Gibbs in Galston last year or the year before hudnae seen him for ages
geordie1234 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 very few sprint pigeons can fly the distance unless its a very high velosity george but distance pigeons will hold there own with sprinters if you work them right im afraid if i only kept them for nationals id be bored out my skull like i say if your prepaired to put the work in you can do both its just harder thats all if your birds are good enough your yearling will keep you in hunt in club and fed and gain great experience doing so out to the coast 2yr olds and up over the water im just knocking the guys that use the national as an excuse or reason that they get beat in the club because its bull s t and george rankin is the proof in the pudding winning from 60 to 600 miles and mid week sprints to just like me george and gareth put the work in to win them all no im a distance man excuses and never tried to take any fancier down when he got beat by saying its weans racesNever said sprint pigeons can win at the distance
dal2 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 Never said sprint pigeons can win at the distanceYou should have
philg50 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 You should haveDidnt the Flor Engles birds sold as sprint middle distance,did they not get winners from distance ,I think i read that some where.
geordie1234 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 You should haveI'm not saying the canny either
dal2 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 Didnt the Flor Engles birds sold as sprint middle distance,did they not get winners from distance ,I think i read that some where.Birds treated the right way will perform. Van reets have done well for my family at all distanced
walterboswell59 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 theres always the exception but not many at 550 600 miles and fast races
dal2 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 theres always the exception but not many at 550 600 miles and fast racesDid ye not just tell us that ye win frae 60-600 miles wae a family of Jan Ardens? Come on Walter you know what I am talking about? Good birds, kept well and fit will do anybody justice? THEY DONT KNOW WHERE THEY GO!!!!!
AR Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 Did ye not just tell us that ye win frae 60-600 miles wae a family of Jan Ardens? Come on Walter you know what I am talking about? Good birds, kept well and fit will do anybody justice? THEY DONT KNOW WHERE THEY GO!!!!!Yer right mate,I remember being at Matt mclaughlans in fife with ma da years ago just after he was 1st open Rennes and I was asking him about strains etc. He said son the pigeon doesn't know it's gonnae fly 500 miles it's up to you to make it fly it, and there wasn't many better flyers at that time than Matt
walterboswell59 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 you can put speed in to a distance bird dal but ive never been able to put stamina into a sprinter some families are all rounders but m8 i could only get van reets up to 360 mile here in the west in slow race they were well behind think where you are in the country has a big part to play imo
shugf2003 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 you can put speed in to a distance bird dal but ive never been able to put stamina into a sprinter some families are all rounders but m8 i could only get van reets up to 360 mile here in the west in slow race they were well behind think where you are in the country has a big part to play imoYou can put motivation into a distance pigeon is my guess in a sprint but no matter the motivation you will never get a sprint pigeon in the distance
walterboswell59 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 Never said sprint pigeons can win at the distancesorry george picked you up wrong m8 you mean sprint fanciers not sprint pigeons

We man Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 Whats the Genesis for the fascination in keeping and Racing Pigeons and how do you create a strain of battle-hardened birds to keep going on when the tough gets Going.Regarding fascination I think in my opinion its reading about Scotlands greatest ever distance fancier Alan Raeside of Irvine,RCH cock "The Conqueror" 1,009mls vel.687 from Palamos Spain,then his grandson timed from Palamos,makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up,anytime I need a "Buzz" just read about it all over again,saying that I admire everyone who has the guts to enter races at 500mls+.
