H & M Lofts Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 Hello everyone a question for all..How many of you would have two races 1. At 70mile 2. 108miles and then straight into falaise international? If yes would it just be the two races and straight in or would you do more training? If no what would the reasons be and how much longer would you want for that type of race?Look forward to your answers..H&M

If no what would the reasons be and how much longer would you want for that type of race?Look forward to your answers..H&M what age are the candidates , are they being trained also ? how are they flying at home , what have they been fed .finally what distance is Falaise to yourself ?
dal2 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 Diffo terrain means you will get diffo answers. No way you could give a bird little racing with no experience in Scotland and then throw it in 500+ withj CONFIDENCE??
Valiant Fifer Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 Dunno how far Falaise is to the fancier that put post up but sounds like the pigeons might need at least another prep race between 200 - 300 mls. Really depends how far Falaise is to the loft. imo.
paddymac Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 I would say the bird would need more training in between before the jump into Falaise
greenbar Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 sorry but u won.t see them again,i.m.o
H & M Lofts Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Posted January 25, 2015 Is that because they need more races or more training?And sorry falaise is 150 milesAnd all candidates But say if you wouldn't do that with a yearling.
dal2 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 Is that because they need more races or more training?And sorry falaise is 150 milesAnd all candidates But say if you wouldn't do that with a yearling.150 miles is nowt. You should be looking at that every week for yer yearlings and prhap out to 350 depending on yer plan for the future

Its just matter of getting them right for the job in hand and I think 2 maybe 3 races would be plenty before Falaise. They don't need races of any great distance as Falaise is not that far to ur loft.

Should it read Falaise National?
andy Burgess Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 Is that because they need more races or more training?And sorry falaise is 150 milesAnd all candidates But say if you wouldn't do that with a yearling. ive started youngsters off at 150 miles. i think your going to be fine, certainly nothing to worry about
Wiley Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 I have no hesitation of jumping pigeons, they don't know the distance they are flying, they only know they must get home. But in saying that the birds must be fit, 40 miles is nothing to a pigeon. Any bird u send to any race must be fit to do it's job if u want to be competitive though.
C WRIGHT Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 i think we often under estimate our pigeons i have a black cock as a yb he flew the 1st 2 races then lost him sor over a week in rhird race i stopped him for the remainder of the year he went to 100ml as a yearling then again i lost him for 10 daysi decided to let the basket be the judge he had a few local tosses always late or next day as usual then in the basket to yrpes he was home in the clock on the day and looking like he had just flown from along the road so i have to question how much training is neededif its in thier heart to get home they will as long as fit and healthy just my opinion

seabreeze Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Have a hen here ,no racing no training straight into 500 miles and wins every time,but she is on open hole 24/7
paddymac Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Have a hen here ,no racing no training straight into 500 miles and wins every time,but she is on open hole 24/7Definately has a big heart and love of home Gary
dal2 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Definately has a big heart and love of home Gary Best distance pigeon in the world, straight in at 500 miles and wins every time! Amazing stuff
OLDYELLOW Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 from my experience a young bird that's not trained or raced in first year of life tend to be crap , birds sent to race with no training tend to circle the liberation site and many don't leave . One of our members did just that and had birds reported not far from site many just went straight to the buildings close by think he may of had 4 or 5 back . Yearlings that aren't trained also just circle at liberation site . A bit of training schools them and am sure that all the effort time and money you invest in your team throwing them away first time doesn't help your future team one bit
C WRIGHT Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 i agree training if good but on the other hand you cant train a donkey to win grand national no matter how much time and effort but a monkey can win the grand national if he owns a red rum so i must ask myself are champions born championsor are champions made or is it a bit of both

If the pigeons are right about the hoose and are in top condition, why train, doo they train much,?
VMS Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 How many top pigeon fanciers train there doos at a far distance. If the pigeons are right about the hoose and are in top condition, why train, doo they train much,?Aye they train don't kid yourself
