I had 22 away yesterday to thrules which is about 70 mile away from me. Again I wasent in the running as my club members get first drop in Finglas mine were 15 minutes behind, only difference with me is I got full returns and other members were missing alot of Birds so I'm happy with my returns. These sprint races are hard for me to win feeling frustrated affraid

I understand your frustration etc Joe Smile

But !!! it's just a mind set thing in my view & once you get that tuned in lol!

or sorted out type of thing, it's no big deal, being beating in the short races. Bigger fish to be caught Rolling Eyes

at the end of the season. So I would just concentrate on getting good returns each week at this early stage. cheers

yes knackered, I suppose its all part and parcel of racing pigeons that we inevitably loose some of them, either through racing/training or through injuries or hawks .......they do say never to choose favourites or get too attached to them, and I think they are right. Crying or Very sad

training goes on today, the last one before their first race this weekend, then ive done all I can for them....... clown

yup desaters happen we havent lost one young bird all year then yesterday bang we were 9 down 1 came late last night smashed up and 2 more the same this morning not much hope for the 6 still missing

Subject: Re: hows everyones young bird training going Thu Jul 24, 2014 5:50 pm

noticed today when I took them there are big pylons across the route they will come home, I must have took mine approx. 10 - 12 times this season to this place and have done other years.........and this is the first time ive had one injured and one missing(presumed dead).

just goes to show it only takes one or two to fly off course and that's it, hit the wires. Crying or Very sad
