That's great small team flying, well done, shows small teams can still compete in modern day racing, keep them going!

same as darren did last year, only flew a small team of young birds and old birds, took all the main trophies and was highest prize winner..........like you say colin, you only need a small team of the right birds ....

Maybe so David But when I see the likes of Gilbert putting 300 odd in a race etc you some times may require just a few more to be competitive I suggest . End of the day thou     well done to all those who found themselves taking a card for their efforts over the weekend.

Well done again Chuda I've always been a numbers type bloke so have always found the numbers against a flyers name etc most interesting come race day on average, as they for me can tell the story behind a story/result for the way I see & judge things at times here.
*****

yes very true knackered, always nice to see the numbers sent by each member and position they came ..........gives a good indication i reckon .

True David just normal down here these days, on average when most race results are posted for all to see & many a time one can see birds out performing the actual winner when all things are considered come race day. Now, we have a thing here called pigeon tracker     which basically, plots the position of all the first one or two birds clocked to each individual loft in a race come race day. Cracking type system     when you see how far apart many flyers are in the same race & for judging a final result in your own mind type of thing.
*****

Yes giving the numbers sent does give a better picture, said many years ago this should be included in prize cards, simple 120/30.

The Nations did take it up some time later in their results.

Not straight forward regarding numbers.

If you keep a few good ones you can keep an eye on everyone and know them personally, take less looking after and easier to condition.

Keeping a lot is harder and noting things going wrong can be a problem and even more so solving it.

All have a choice and WHAT TURNS YOU ON.

Better in a club where the spoils go round proves the competition is strong.

Regards.

yes i agree misty, doesnt take much to add it to the prize card, and gives a better view of the race .

in our club we had a couple of members who had dominated the results for years, but since chuda joined, he and his mate (already a member, who usually would take the odd position now and then) have knocked them off their perch so to speak .....we have now open our radius and allowed two more new members in, so it appears there is a more healthy level of competition between members, rather than the same two winning every race between them , more or less ....

One loft race here. Cannot contact the guys running it. Hope it is still going. The winner is determined over 5 races. Best average speed. So no excuse for one bird having a bad day. Long races also. Last race over 300 miles. Hope it is on for next year.

No more racing. However he posted on my site. New FB friend.
It doesn't happen often that we can compare results in 2 combines from the same station on the same day. This past weekend we had this situation with both the NRRPA and the UNC being in Latchford. The NRRPA released at 545 and the UNC at 615. It was a tough day with heat and SW winds along most of the course.
I shipped my limit of 20 birds in the UNC and my remaining 25 birds to the NRRPA. No particular order, just about half of my hens and cock to each race picked randomly.
My first birds home in the NRRPA were 5 hours and 50 minutes. I had 10 birds home in 55 min.
In the UNC race my first birds were exactly 6 hours and I had 10 birds home in 53 minutes.
To my loft there was virtually no difference in the time of flight or rate of returns.
Also missing 1 bird from each race. So my loft results are very similar.
In the combine the results are very different. In the NRRPA I was 4th by 26 seconds.
In the UNC I was 87th behind the winner by 38 minutes.
I should add that the UNC had 669 birds from 45 lofts and the NRRPA had 572 birds from 33 lofts. A joint release would have been over 1300 birds.
Good information to compare.
