Fastest

[Guest maricelbill]

If you had to choose a line of birds or family of birds for total sprint up to 80 miles with a helping wind what would you choose???

Say a race between 1600 and 2000 ypm. all other conditions equal loft, feed, motivation etc all the destination lofts in the same field so no advantage in position. Is there a clear winner?? The fastest line of birds ever,

From a distance of 80 miles I don't think you can look further from the Diamantverbond specialists of Quiverain and Noyon. The champions on average I believe over the last ten years in this region would be the Van Den Brande brothers, but their birds seem versatile and can do it on fast and slow days.

Hate to disagree but with a tail wind anything could come JMO

For reasons that would take too long to explain we fly a particularly curios west to east route inland out to 100 miles before switching west across the sea from Cornwall. As the prevailing wind is westerly and the distances short it is a very specialist type of racing that is all over over in the blink of an eye with some very specialist flyers. So it's isn't anything at all that can win as some of you assume. it's a question that is worthy of some thought and discussion as were are not talking of one off races of the blow home variety. but a specialist type of racing.

 

And those who know me needn't panic I'm not off to buy pigeons I'm simply asking the question. Perhaps there is no clear winning line.
