Well done V/R man Smile

I have always had the feeling with the first race type of thing, one is walking into the unknown etc. No matter how your birds may appear around the loft. Walking on egg shells Rolling Eyes

comes to mind & usually I'm quite happy when the first one is out of the way & you finish up with good returns. cheers

What sort of ETS are you using? It is only week one or two of the season and already I hear of ETS's missing birds. This can't be right can it! What do the manufactures say about this?

pressing the wrong button and clearing the data/ring numbers off the system......plus ive read of updates being the problem.....i dont have ETS, so wont have this type of problem anyway, but the problems ive heard of within my own club doesnt make me want to use it.

Oh dear - what a shame.

I though they were going to be the 'Next Best Thing'.

Maybe in a few years time when they have all the glitches sorted out. Sounds a bit like some of the Windows versions they have brought out.

Still - we press on!

We are using Benzing Ets we think the pigeon went through the trap side ways in stead of going straight in we have modified it now so hopefully no more missing our bird's.

the problem isn't with the ets its with the way its been set up once a clock has been closed it carn't be altered the data is locked you can only scroll back and forwards to see arrivals the pads have to be placed so that the birds can not go around them and you have to slow them down

Hi Mark - great info - thanks. When I get me ETS (some time in the future, as I have no racing birds yet) I will have to remember what you have said and get everything just right.

Cheers for now

yes mark, all the mistakes made in our club were down to humans, not knowing what they were doing, not down to the ets system being wrong. by what ive heard quite a few reckon they know all about ets and how to set it up and use it, but they don't see to know as mush as they think.....

ive watched video`s on you tube on how to set the bricon speedy up and use it, and it seems straight forward enough.
