Nothing wrong with being last Boosey as long as you enjoy your pigeons that is all that matters

Not a problem from my point of view Boosey I could think of maybe 2 flyers that were very happy you put in & flew etc .

remember boosey without losers there would be no winners enjoy your birds mate

yes shippy, that's the main thing, its nice to win but also nice to compete, enjoy the hobby and get your birds home safely.....

Yes a agree if that's what suits certain people but me and my brother are obsessed with winning.it's in our blood lol.but again we are all different. If I am racing 40 birds believe me I want something back cause it takes a lot of hard work

No issues with me here Ray with your way of thinking etc. We are all differant at times in the life cycle of being a pigeon flyer/fancier I suspect. I've now reached the stage here where I'm just happy to see them potter around the back yard for enjoyment & racing is just a side issue.
*****

we are in it to win it but its not the be and end all we enjoy it win or lose ...pigeon racing is not fair with wind ...drag of the pigeons ...location...birage etc...

yes Darren, I think some get a big advantage, especially in the fed.....ive noticed on the fed results its always the same members/clubs who are at the top......and this isn't because they have better birds or are better pigeon men than my clubs top flyers, I think they have an advantage due to location, wind, drag etc like you say......

the highest position I remember my club members being in the fed is 4th, and most times are rarely in the top 30....

same for us david all the birds come up the severn so those living near it have a big advantage irrespective of wind in the fed ...even our club has members living near the severn we are about 4 miles further inland and it makes all the difference in dapper races but you try yer best with what you have and where you are

I don't think anyone in my club has any chance of topping the fed Darren........

I don't really know why they left the GYA and went with barkston ash....

Have you David & your club members & O/S heard the story about getting better birds etc . I hear it all the time here from the chook farmers down the bottom as such. The latest brain storm by them down there, is to increase the entry money for our long races etc to improve the quality of the birds going away because of our losses there & these are the same blokes that loose them by the hundreds sadly before they even get to our long distance races. Now my Fed here is in utter turmoil sadly & mainly because of a certain piss pot who is telling every one how he wants things done & the clowns down the bottom now want to name a special race after him & he has been in the Fed now for the best part of 5 minutes       . Crazy world we live in, especially when you talk in pigeon terms   .

Hey Boosey - Maybe your birds haven't come into their own yet! Maybe they like the longer races - Maybe they are slower to get going.

As you say - it can only get better - at least you are 'Having a go'.

ATB for future races and let us all know how you get on please.

Not being funny but we are only into our second race so there's a long way to go..not all pigeons will peak at the same time.I want my to peak at the nationals .we just want them steady at these early races

Your right Ray it's a mindset thing with many flyers I suspect, in that they expect them all to be pinging from the first race etc & not all pigeons are in the condition to do that especially if out of position with the loft situation & the winds are blowing the wrong way.

2nd race miles down the sheet ,took the kids butlins for the week left my old fella in charge .

Nice to see on the sheet Rick nice also to see your kids get a look in type of thing etc. Unfortunately there is always some one "The old fella" that misses the boat sadly as they say .

Excellent results rick well done
