young bird training????????

hows it going lads just a quick one for yea! my young birds are not starting to race for another 11 weeks there comiing on great and when i let them out there going rangeing for close to 2 or 3 hours i wouldent see them for which is great.. what do yous think would be enough time to get them some training in and basket ready for the races?? i know everyone will have different opinions on this just want to get some feedback. a friend of mine said two weeks is enough time? thanks in advance
joe..

while ever there ranging leave um to it cus once ya start training you have to keep them going
no harn in basket training them mine almost live in it make sure they go in so they aint nervouse when the time comes theres no rush but do allow time to get plenty of chucks in a month before gives you time and accounts for the days you cant go ie work or weather

thanks birdy that will help me out cheers mate. nice to get a few different opinions.

hi joe, i agree with graham...at this stage while they are ranging so well dont think about training yet, as graham said once you do this they will reduce the time they are exercising/ranging.....while they are flying so well they are getting fit and learning the area, so no point sending them training to fly back home in 30 mins just to sit in the loft.

Fair Point David i just was wondering how long you would have to show them the line of flight to take from the race point etc, thanks mate

another thing i do is let them have there loft fly befor i take them training that way they tend not to mess around to much

or if i go early morning they seem to come better i mean early though there on the way home normaly by 5.30am

once they reach 30 miles a few times

they go no more than 15 miles 2 or 3 times aday in the build up to the first race

no 2 people train the same but do what fits in your time and try to stick to it

thats brill info birdy thanks for that ill work something out around my times and stick to it 5.30 ouch they will be super fit with that scheldule i want o give my yb's the best chance of having ago and im sure if they were doing that they would!!

best advice is dont rush them its easy to drive further up the road and loose them

never take chances you may regret months of work can go in one bad chuck

then your back to square one

i understand and will keep it in mind thanks for the advice lads
