rpra one loft

more tariners have been had at 6/7 miles seems we are another yb down ,why train in this heat ffs

very disapionted with the rpra one lofts, i for one wont be entering next year, its an absolute joke .......the mans an idiot

it makes you wonder if these pointless short tosses are done purposely to reduce numbers .......

i never ever lost a single sibling to the ones he has lost ,they are stickers for sure so god only knows what he is doing,maybe we have been to outspoken on the rpra one loft and are getting spanked so to speak...who knows always seems our ybs are the last to be released to ...ok fair enough sometimes but every toss na not for me anymore i am afraid

something not right, 4 birds entered, half lost from pointless short training tosses .........sorry but hes an idiot.

if we do a syndicate next year, i think we should start looking at others in good time to ensure we get in, and also to see how its run .

the nest mates to the 2 lost are still alive and kicking elsewhere and they been down to the coast for trainers (60 miles)never lost a sibling off theres either thats why they were sent and bred from winners on the road so they are no mugs ...yeah dont seem right thats over £475 of our dosh waisted with the 93 and the 2 lost ybs , ffs expensive hobby this rpra one loft eh

Everyone entering a OLR will send in what they think are their best.

They also know there will be only one winner and luck will play a major part.

So the pleasure most get is seeing and  following the progress their own entries make.

This can under ordinary circumstances be money well spent giving pleasue and exitement at each stage.

However, in my opinion many entries in our case have been thrown away and given little or no chance.

Tossing pigeons from a few yards from the loft is stupid.

Tossing yearlings late in the day from over 300 miles is madness as is the loft manager saying it was a good test.

But after seeing our overall sport run by a set of morons, you expect nothing more.

If you have  a look in Knackerd thinking of you and yours.

Regards.

As far 93 is concerned think we had our moniesworth until the last race.

REgards

i dont think previous years have been as bad as this year, the birds seemed to get a fair crack of the whip.......but this year for some reason it seems they are being thrown away .

also it seems, the yearling final is over and done with, they got a winner, the other 70 - 80 birds missing have been wrote off and forgotten about ..........

If the list I have just seen is the latest we still have 3 in with a shout.

Also noticed one entry has 20 still in and two others 10 each.

Regards.

hope we have 3 still in misty......although i do think there should be a limit on the amount fanciers can enter, it makes it so some cannot enter due to all the places being taken .

yer not reading it right lads you have to go into the latest training toss on benzing to see whats left...just over 1000 ybs out of 1500 and we got 2 nest mates left ,today they were upped to 12 miles from 7 ,best not shout to loud but every dog has its day eh

Thanks oldstrain, why on earth do they leave old results on the RPRA site?.

Losing a third when not even flying 20 miles is absurd.

Just where on earth do these losses end up?.

Would be stupid to blame raptors for that number of losses.

Think something basically wrong with the whole set up.

Regards.

nearly 500 ybs, 1/3 of the team lost already, and only just at 12 miles ........all this cannot be just down to bops / hawks etc surely .

another 12 mile toss this morning ....2 still in the game ,has to be health issues at the loft for that number to be gone at this stage ,as misty says treating the ill will be treating the not ill to so we never know what effects this may cause ,not easy keeping 1500 birds mind you but i just cant understand why so many short tosses they will be ambling knowing where they are so just like a loft fly anyway at least they are moving on with the training eh

Agree with you oldstrain, something sadly amiss.

Think 1500 pigeons from a mixture of lofts will test any ones
ability to have them all healthy, in fact an impossibility.

Also you cannot tell the carriers that show no ill effects from those that do.

But to lose nearly 500 and not even into double figure training ??????.

Just glad I enjoyed many happy years before the commercial boys took over.

With the weather all over the world going mad maybe we are missing
something relative to our problems.      

Just hope our two keep well away from the unhealthy ones.

Regards.

as we know, once ybs get sick they can drop like flies........and with 1.500 birds its going to be rampant through them, plus like darren says, other symptums and illnesses take over the initial yb sickness if they are not treated quickly

Just wonder if they are all lost training or from illness ??????.

Regards.

yes misty, true......we will never know, although when ever we see videos etc, the birds all look in excellent condition

the meat of them were gone well before training started

What I meant to say was. how many actually die in the loft through illness, also how many are having to be treated and then put back on the road.

Do not think we get enough information as to what goes on.

Regards.

yes nowhere near enough information for the entrants ,cloak and dagger eh
