Glasgow Fed GONE MAD..!!

[ally mac]

the winds we got last season were mostly east or south east so if the birds are racing with a tail wind they will go high and over most of the hills thats where we get most of our loses as far as iam concerned no ceiling birds doing over 1700 y/p/m over the loft before they know, and if there is any norh in the wind they will be low and that brings its own difficulties wires go round hills etc but dont discount our birds intelengance the good ones will fight against winds and try as much as it can to keep its line of flight but the wind and drag will push them to where they come up the country doesnt matter which way you train yes land marks can help i think but thats never been proved we all have our  likes and dislikes but i think i would go with fanciers who are bieng succsfull over the last couple of years they have obvisualy got all the management correct no one can say they have not ally you have to remember your birds have to do the last 40/50 mls on there own you have to try and find an edge on your club members and whats best for your loft loc you chose who to follow i know what i would do!!!!!!!!!

 

 

I have found this thread really interesting, you, and others, know I have had training directions on my mind for a while Frank. Certainly food for thought.

 

Keep it coming lads!

Have a look at the SNFC yb national.. nobody from F made the Open result..

 

What are peoples opinion on this..?? Why are Region F fanciers not further up the result..??

Maybe it had a lot to do with the wind and the weather on the day as no pigeons from the West made the open result in the y/b national this year!!!

[Guest frank dooman]

take a look at the west results in the snrpc the last 3/4 years have been unbelievable some of which are racing to exactly the same loc as alexandra club and even worse 1st open 16th open and many more, good fit and trouble free as johno said 1st thing to get right is healthy birds if you dont start with them then it doesnt matter how good /fit or where you train from your kidding your self on and in this day and age thats very hard to do

because you fly into the toughest area in the country and have a very small amount of birds sent to these races

look at region e and the boys in the gretna area  in the young bird national the birds raced up the east coast and never broke

 

the young bird national is suicide in the west unless the wind is on the nose or east

correct aly proves my point wind will sort out the winners doest mean the birds that get through against the wind arent good far from it some of they could well be the best birds on the day but conditions didnt suit thats pigeon racing for you

So why did they not break.. is this because we're teaching them from an early age to come from the East..??

got 2 ask the convoyer and race controler that one.

 

I suppose if its clear at the race point and good most of the way home they wont hold because its raining in one area. you could hold and it would be raining everywhere the next week
