bird limits

whats members views on bird entry limits ?

send what you like as far as I am concerned even though I only have a small team myself it don't bother me that some guys send 50 or 60 birds to a race

same here, if members want to pay to send 60 pigeons they are contributing to the prize money.........yes they may have a higher % of winning but we all have the same choice     

the more that go makes the compitition stronger and pays the bills or there would be no racing

I agree the more the better for the prize money but were I live there are a lot of 2,3 & 5 bird clubs which are £200+ a year for subs

I think it's still good competitive racing also no mob flying and you never see the big team men dominating theses type of clubs

I think if our club fee`s were £200+ a year, the club would fold.......  

I understand we're your coming from David but with this type of subs there is always the same money to fly for during the season weather it's one member sending or 20 members

With theses clubs you can win £400+ pound with pool money one win and your money back or subs covered for the following year

We have fliers here in the Federation send up to 100 young birds. If they can afford it good for them. Some times they take the first 20 plus positions. Sometimes not. Only one bird wins, regardless of how many sent. My opinion the big shippers pay the bills. Clock limits are a thing of the past. Although some clubs here have them. I have competed with them and won my share with much fewer pigeons. As have many others. Competition is competition. Clocking limits, shipping limits is garbage.

all clubs need the big flyers to keep going without them thier would be no pigeons they are bound to get results so what, its better to get your birds home it doesnt cost so much for you as you only have to win one but win or loos you still get the same buss

The same men a top of prizelist even when clubs stick a limit on.

MMMMMMmmmm Bird limits etc are a wee bit like eye sign you will never have total agreement between flyers, on which is the best way to reach a final conclusion, as to which is best option for the individual concerned or the sport.

Here for me it is $800. club Fed fees. 400 plus pounds sterling.
Minimum. Means 10 old birds, 30 young birds. send more pay more.

hi terryp here if you put limits on the amount you send it may not be worth transporting them to the race points. cost of fuel etc.. you would end up paying more for your birds in turn you would be sending less if you get my drift???. lol. cheers terryp...

Fair enough point Terry etc in what you say. Thou !!!, if people/feds are prepared to work together & use common sense like we do down here, it's not all that hard to fill a transporter up. When 3/4 feds get together & have a common cause type of thing. Win win all round, for every one from my experience.

One tends to unfortunately I'm   scratch one's head etc O/S when you watch a dvd type of thing of some of your liberations over there & as you say  half empty trucks end to end for the most part at times. When will the brainy folk who are in control, finally understand they are on a road to oblivion. Because common sense, does not tend to come into the equation.
