Ets Pads

[Guest arsenal]

i would like to know exactly where ets pads should be fitted,i thought they have to be inside the bob-wires but i have been told it's ok for them to be outside.Which is correct please.

Read on R.P.R.A that as long as the loft / birds are trapped in ONCE the trap door is closed, then that is all that is required. I presume that means that the bob wires traps the birds once entered... and of course gone through.

Like wise with a wooden slant trapping.

As for open door and such like, that would also means once shut the birds are trapped!

Be interesting how others may interprets this.

This is the current RPRA rule and there is no requirement for birds to be confined, all it decrees is that when the trap is closed a pigeon cannot be registered on the pad.

241. The positioning of the ETS sensors/

antennae will not be allowed on any landing

boards or other external surfaces in such a

way that when the loft is closed no electronic

chip ring may be recorded by the Electronic

Timing System installed. Club Officials may

make random checks at any time

That's the one Mick. Thanks for the clarification.

Welsh rules state Pads must not be placed where they can read the electronic chip before the bird is confined within the loft.

Well my take on that one Mick is, the bird must be confined as it cannot be registered outside a closed trap

So are we saying then that when the loft is closed up one must still be able to clock a bird?

 

Was a great debate by using the word Confine, confines etc. Confines meaning an area, within the loft... Loft confines etc. etc.

Hence these new wording to try and make sense and easily understood lol.

Surely one doesn't need to clock a pigeon in when the loft is shut up ... Having said that if one wants to place a pad on a chimney or roof etc. so be it lol

Roly I'm sure when they say closed loft it means bird unable to exit. Wish all unions used the terminology of the Welsh rules and there would be no misunderstanding, perhaps
