best for up to 360

Subject: best for up to 360 Sat Apr 30, 2011 10:01 pm

hi everyone, i had my 4th club race today and it wasnt brilliant. i train my birds hard and do everything im able to do. our club is always behind our rival clubs and low down in the fed. i have come to the conclusion that my birds are not good enough to compete for fed positions. could anyone tell me what birds i need for up to 360 miles, because i want to get ready for next year. thanks for any advice.

sometimes fed results are won by position ie loft position and wind if none of your members are winning this could be the answer not the birds
our club is 45 miles from all other clubs in the fed not cus the birds are no good as some have won but its hard we are out on a limb as they say but its the only fed we can get in to race south
give it a bit longer mate see how the y/b go

hi bazzio, there could be a number of reasons why your birds are not winning............when you say you train hard are they widowhood cocks ? some fanciers dont train them once racing has started so that could be something to consider, or if natural are they in a good nesting position...? im new back to pigeons but the general info i get from our members is they need to be motivated correctly to get the best out of them.
