their are many many strains you could go for and buschaerts have been known to do well at some distance races and yes the basket will tell but you have to start somewhere lol go to a distance flyer who has done well in your area as you will know then that the birds you are obtaining can handle the terrain also you would be advised to purchase birds that fly well on the system that you are planing to use ie widowhood or natural.the jan ardens are probably the most fashionable distance strain at the moment but certainly are not a new breed but its like any breed you have good and bad in all and if i was you i would purchase 6 late breds as a base for a distance family from a good local distance flyer and exsplain you are a new starter.by the way i thought you were going into sprint middle distance what made you change your mind

hi lofthouse, im just restarting but will be sticking to short/middle distance races for now as distance races need more planning, birds for the job and more experience than i have a t the moment......

you can sprint distance birds but you cant get sprinters to do extream distance

you need the tools for the job

there about but real top distance birds are very hard to find

does anyone think widowers or naturals are better for distance racing, or does it just depend on the bird...........?

Why would it have changed Ray, if you prefer a hen sitting and you know it works I dont think time makes it different, if its a winner then now or 10 years ago I think its still a winner
