dal2 Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Do you think the jump is an important factor?Maybe not if the jump was on the same line Robert but on a diffo route in a west wind?? I think it's a fair assumption that a lot will get offline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's anything to do with winning just a poor set of circumstance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you draw a line from Buckingham to Annan it's no that far East of Stafford. And the Peterhead lads are jumping 200 miles.

We are only jumping 116 milesDeadly serious. .....if you race from Buckingham in a west wind with a small amount racing within a majority heading up the east what side of the penines do you think they will go? Stafford us on the traditional west line while Buckingham is on the centre line hence my statement offline... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a fair assumption that a lot will get offline? Ok point taken. Gone are the days when we had race programmes which asked the birds to fly in a straight line home.My 4 are jumping from 140 miles. They have had a few races and loads of training but it's a big jump for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have had a few races and loads of training but it's a big jump for them. Yes Robert dog leg racing is a mystery to me. Solway program has done wonders for my team over the last few years to the extent that racing 40 at the start I have 29 left and no room for them.......but the flip side is six races but only 120 miles!

tyson Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Jumping pigeons is all in the fanciers mind when the birds go to the race point they dont know how far they have to fly home a jump for a pigeon is nothing to it provided you have them fit enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alec guinness Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 I would pout billy favourite in any wind it would be nice to see some of the east members giving him some praise for a change instead of of the cold shoulder treatment some have gave him at marking stations billy is a true gentleman of the sport willing to help anyone the work he pout into his birds are second to none and wee all no about loft location but there are fancers beside him to so all the best billy boy Good post tam that blow to the head has certainly helped!!
