Training yb today.

the top flyer in my club stops training his ybs once racing starts, he says they benefit more from exercising round home, who am i to disagree, he wins most weeks and usually has 2 or 3 in the first 5..........

I think it is all about teaching them a line of flight, familiarising them with certain land marks, teaching them to head for those landmarks, and sprinters showing them a direct route.

spot on Gaz when the birds are confident coming out of the basket straight home no messing about then move them

As well all know they are only youngsters for one season

you know fine well ray my youngbirds didnt get justice as you know i was bad and had a lot going on , didnt spend the time with them, dont forget ray theres four at your loft and you have around 200 pigeons

thats true

but then again ian you still trained your birds as normal last season dispite your illness ,we were on about distances in training,so you still went to seaham or wherever,which in my mind is harder work for you to do.but like i said the topic was on about training and i have just said what i was doing with ours and yes there is 4 of us but that does,nt mean we will win races its just easier,but if the birds are crap we are crap no matter how many of us there are.....i know it must be hard on your own and i would,nt like to be on my own ,but again i,m not arguing i,m just stateing facts and opinions

Sorry guys, but at this time of year, we are all tossers.

first toss for my ybs on thursday hopefully and from 5 miles for 3 tosses then 10 mile then 20 mile ....i have to rely on other people to take my ybs training so they will get about 3 or 4 at 10 mile then about 5 or 6 at 20 miles .....no training once racing starts

yes ray but your the one who mentioned performances

all youngbirds back safe in loft iam pleased to say

yes because i was proving the point that small tosses are not a waste of time,i think too many fanciers want them straight up the road as far as possible to get it over and done with ,but i had lost birds in the past doing this and will never do it again.out of the ybs you lost yesterday did you get any back.to me i think its a shame to throw away ybs so easily after the all the hard work just to get them to this point,its no good poeple saying they are not good enough because why breed them in the first place.i bet you,ve lost some good ybs doing this.again its just my view

you,ve just answered one of my questions lol
