open door and ETS

hi lads any of you use open door and ETS ? have ya got any pics as im after some ideas was told to put a small bob wire trap on the floor/bottom of the door type of thing what sounds good but would like to see some other pics to see what options there are thanks in advance

defeats the object of open door surely....I would rather have the trap higher up jmo

Rene the pads would have to run all round the open door frame plus be more powerfull than what the are now to pick up the ring as the birds flew in , Would make it a very expensive system to install just my thoughts
Ken

we just have the trap in the bottom of our mesh doors for the old birds.the ybs are up a height

Don't quite know about that Ken etc. for what I remember Sean here mentioned  a new system  a while back which works on a scanner like at the super market type of thing. Only for the rich thou & I suspect sadly Rene would miss the boat unfortunately in that department "I think". Getting back to the subject if one is going to use what we call a fly in here I would go for an open door section with the bobs/plate/pad for the E/clock on the floor etc at the back of the section leading into the other sections of the loft & it really only needs to be about a metre wide x a metre for most small type lofts with the pad being about 45 cm's wide . The little fat bloke has this system in place & it's magical to see his birds trap when they are in tune. There is not a man born in my view that could beat his system with the old manual clock like I still use. If my computor skills here were up to scratch I would do a drawing or post a photo of his type of set up but as most here know by now ???? I'm not all that bright with computors.  Now !!! Just to throw a spanner in the
works/subject here, his pads are before the bobs into the loft or other sections & as many would know thou the birds are in the loft on race day they are not ??? unless they have gone through the trap/bobs, even thou they have been clocked     & this senario always makes for some interesting conversation here at times.

Interpretation David & always remember  we are a weird mob down here, in the way we do things at times & I suspect it comes down to where the pad is placed for the Electronic clock in the loft.

Rene a lot of the fanciers I know trap the birds through bob wires at floor level but through the doors which are placed in the corridor mate

So yes you trap through open doors but then closed doors in the corridor mate

Yes that's it etc to a point. When you have hundreds of pigeons coming at all times like some I know down here, one doesn't want to be opening & shutting the door to the fly in & that is why you bring the bob's into play etc like I suggested as the birds are then fed into the other sections by themselves "Think of sheep" .

strange, I always thought if you flew to the open door it meant you had the door open for them to come in, if you flew to traps they entered through traps....simple, or is it

is black white or is white black ?.....is everything upside down and back to front...?

Who at the end I'm would really know David etc. Just remember thou compared to where you are. Everything is upside down down here, in a global sense.
