ryesway Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 What's people's views on natural racing with a 10 to 15 mile toss every days as exercise. As this could be a way of racing cocks and hens as I could toss them up on my way to work or it would be widow cocks or double paired hens not sure which would be best just looking for people's thoughts as I'm thinking of starting back due to some time out! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have to travel 20miles to work which is about on the flight line and its light by the time I've got half way to work so I thought about flying natural as its not costing me anything to train! I know widow cocks will take some beating but would a team of 26 be big enough to fly the channel that's my doubts mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dal2 Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Don't think you need to double the team. Maybe start with the bar low and work up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryesway Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Don't think you need to double the team. Maybe start with the bar low and work up?Think your right pal it needs to be enjoyable not a work load!! Think it will be cocks on total widowhood or 30 hens paired to 16 cocks not sure yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Reid Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Imo you will do a lot better on either than you would on naturalTotally agree Geordie. But would also like to add when you have pigeons on natural it is great as a pigeon fancier if you have the time just to sit in the garden on a sunny day and watch them going about their business. But for team condition widohood / roundabout has got the upper hand imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
