    Very Happy If your question is a serious one, I wouldnt get too into all hat, I dont think anyone can really say that. For me I stick them in a basket if they win or just fly home is nice then thats all I need. Wing theory to me is a nonsence, I think its what is in its brain and heart that makes a winner.

    i think this is like all the rest of these theories and is just thatm a theory........if you look at all distance winners they are not all the same, and the same goes for short distance birds too.

    It was actually a Genuine question a friend was showing me his sprint pigeons and what he looks for all the way down the flights more or less wind resistance and the three/four primary's I think maybe your right though it's whats in their head and heart that'll get them home
