REDROCKET Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 If you want to win races you need to train your birds to fly straight home without being influenced by other birds. The last thing you want is for them to go off ranging or playing about.I start mine off at 6 miles and keep them there until they are doing 60 mph regularly. I then move them to 10 miles and do the same again. I then split the sexes and release them separately in two bunches at first and when I am happy they are doing the trip at 60 mph I let them go in 6s then 4s and when they are used to it 2s.All this takes a little bit more time but it works well.If I find the birds are slow I will take them twice a day and cut the food down so that they will try harder.My aim is to train the birds to race home.hi mate do you win races sticking to this program.
