[geordie1234]

Taking from another forum: What in your opinion is a small team fancier?

 

Let me just state I have no issue with anyone sending 200 doos to a race etc this is just a wee convo to keep us occupied lol

 

Small for me is 12 pair of race birds maybe 40 ybs? I know there is guys who fly a lot less

Good evening dull yin . Like everything in life you have got to be able to take the knocks . In only three races this year my team was minus one and all the rest ripped to pieces. Managed to fly the the program last year with a small team . But with a small team if you take a hit yir fcked.

aye your a mob flyer noo billy gone is the four bird man noo

[Roland]

Just four member alone sent nigh 300 y/b's per race last season, and many more at home to counteract so called losses. ... into a very small area. Plus others making quite a few. Some - like me 15 miles or more the wrong side of the wind, and drag find it a mite disheartening. But not really bothered. But when these flyers say that they are combatting losses! I think most are swamping and breeding culls, and maybe 'Win at Any Cost'. Quality not quantity still prevails at the distance and hard races in the Old bird season.
