i have seen many a top loft that had great results , yet would grace the top of any firewood pile. its not the loft that wins the race ,yet the birds within it.

Be it a shack, barn or palace the pigeons simply look at it as their home. Avoid overcrowding & dampness and the loft will hit form sometime during the season, getting the ventilation right will enhance & prolong their form.

Whats your thoughts on the distance between cocks and hens ends if racing celobate or widow? Also the choice of trap if sprint racing, is this important when thinking of your loft?

 

Yip no need for the fanciest materials but a wee biy of thought does no harm?

cant anser that for you m8 i only race naturalsome of the other guys can maybe advise you on that but for traping you cant beat ets of some sort and the fact your not catching the bird means it will trap the next week if its good enough
