somerset one loft

i see they have a new race point for there last race Ypres Belgium 265mls thats a lot shorter than last year

they might think the number of people entering next year might go down and are trying to encourage people to enter next year....

i think it will increase and one of the reasons i think so is fanciers like a challenge

yes i think they do george, but thhhhe races they have had over the last couple of seasons might stick in some peoples minds..........i remember when we entered a site syndicate it didnt give us much entertainment, altho it could be said the birds wernt up to the job, who knows

i haven't rule it out its just a bit far away were i think the rpra loft is much closer to me and could visit each race

yes george, by what ive read and heard i think the best one out of them is the rpra oneloft..........they seem to take more care in deciding if/when to liberate etc.

Personally i have never understood why any British fancier would ever wish to enter these type of races ,i well understand why the yanks started these type of races many years ago,futurity they named them,basically i suppose with such a huge lat-longditude to contend with,National races are impossible over there,and the only way they can test their family loft birds against allcomers must be these futurities,but here you can compete against any and everyone who competes in the Nationals.
i also notice big time its the same money making exploters who run the vast majority of these "one loft races" if their not trying to sell you pigeons,treatrments,dvd`s or the rest,its pathetic really,a right rip off year after year,and strange thing,fanciers still love to get screwed over

Grizzle why a lot of fanciers send to the one loft races is to see what their birds cant do, the birds are all trained the same way feed the same thier is no differance, and some send the birds which is a new matteing to see if they can fly with the best, ok it cost but with the training they get and feed you have paid for it but you dont have to step out of the house its done for you,in feds and nationals its you that has done the work if the wind is the wrong way you dont stand much of a chance but the oneloft are going to the same loft.

I have not had pigeons for years as i'm not able to fly them out i can now see this as a way to race a bird either breed a few myself or buy a yb and send it to the one loft with the rpra i should be able to go to the loft on race days and also make some new friends

grizzlecock, i agree with part of what you have said, it does seem the same ones who are out to take our money with pigeon products, selling pigeons and any money making scheeme they can get involved in............and your right, pigeon men on the whole will buy anything they think will enhance their pigeons performance to win.
