Pigeon Flight Class

Hi,
years ago I heard that we Short,Middle,Long and marathon type pigeons.

I have just 5-6 years racing experience , but I think we have now 2 classes. one that can fly and win from 100-800KM and other is over 800KM. as I have observed even on my loft that some pigeon fly great (got me position too) from 100-700KM, same pigeon. This lead me to make that in my mind.

all of you are very experienced what are your thoughts as per racing experience you have ?

Thanks

For me Tanveer if being honest, be careful who you talk too etc I suggest when talking about long distance type pigeons. Hours on the wing can make a huge difference in how far a normal type pigeon can actually fly. Seen 500 mile pigeons here home in 5/6 hours at times, but most thou are totally knackered come nightfall after an all day fly as such I found . Now not wishing to be harsh here but if you ask the average normal flyer Tanveer, how many 5/600 mile type pigeons they have or have had in their loft over the years I'm tipping the answer on average would surprise & rather disappoint you some what I suspect .
