My loft is brand new and looks like a cardboard box compared to the most of you guy's lofts. I have some pictures of before it was painted, after I build new nestboxes I should be proud to post them also. |

| Yes I will be using ETS. And thanks guy for the comments. I like the flight best because I have a set of bobs going out and the trap set going in, the birds learn to use the bobs quickly this way to me. |

| yes i saw on the mike tyson program they mostly all used ETS and the birds wasted no time in trapping........they used bigbat type things to guide them into the traps, ive just made some new traps for my lofts but we dont use ETS at my club, they wont have it. |

| I did watch the video, I think the only way to get mine to trap that fast is to record them and speed up the recording. The bird in my avatar is supposed to be a Delbar pigeon, he fly well around the loft but my mentor said I will probably lose him. |
