first training chuck

had my ybs at 16 mile first chuck at 11 this morning only had 8 out of 19 by 12 o,clock then another 2 dropped together at 12.45 and had another 2 bk single in last 15 mins .still 7 adrift .hopefully they will work in if not will have a small but a little wiser team .fingers crossed they work in

Hope they work there way back in rick. Did you bring the birds straight up to 16 or start off at shorter distances .

another 3 just dropped in ,they would of learnt more today than in the hole of there short life's so far

first time today john straight to 16 mile they will stay there now until 2 week or so b4 first race then they will be at 30mile for a couple of weeks

Nearly all home then mate. Some have gone on a detour . I have give my ybs 4 tosses and am up to 5 mile lol. maybe i will jump up the distance for them next toss

Good show Rick I'm glad your a Brave heart type etc & not one of those that like the 1/2/3/4/5 mile senaro trick.

much depends on the age of the ybs where ya pitch um in ....do that on a Wednesday and ya might just come un-stuck as theirs a lot of mid-week racing jmo and glad the toss turned out ok for ya ric

Could be so O/S "The knowledge factor" should tell one when the right time to go is etc. The bloke I tossed with last weekend here etc has it in bucket loads & his went straight of the roof to 35 miles to him & he dropped 1 out of 200 odd birds on a crap of a day for any ones first toss.

thing is oz a batch of 200 birds are more likely to stick together than 20 if a few other mobs are about ...each to his own but the main detriment is the age of the ybs I think if novices and new starters start tossing birds in at 35 mile with a handful of birds they will soon be at a loss ....a lot of birds on this little patch of ours

Maybe O/S But not when there going into an area half the size of England etc & there is 2/3000 pigeons released .

2/3000 that's some training toss oz

well the ybs will be all in the basket again this morning had 2 pick the last 1 up a few miles a way had dropped in with anothers ybs he has hit a wire ,not bad but will give him a week off then he will be bk

That ain't nothing O/S etc, in a few weeks time they will come from every where with there units here & follow the master J/B. In some ways he is a bit like our Devo "God" & all the desiples just follow like a bunch of headless chook's & just take heed of a much wiser pigeon man.

I suppose with ybs and old birds racing together you could expect birdage like that ...seems healthy though regards racing in the land down under

ybs all home and correct a lot better than there first chuck im with that can stat working them well now

Glad to see things better this time Rick

Differant to your way O/S would be the way I would best describe it etc down here. Had a look at our results last week & I have to admit I gave you all a bum steer here, when I said I had to give away 50 odd miles to the boys in the bush, as I was wrong it's actually     80 odd miles .

wind direction must play a massive part in results their oz for you

True O/S 2/3rds of my club didn't fly this week etc "Memory's of last week" (Same same again) & they all left their money in there wallets, for a more sunner day & a wind change of direction .

sounds like boys only want play when things are in favour

Oh so true O/S but the playing field here is rather large etc & even the best of the best can take a real belting at times, when the wind decides to blow our little chumps else where. Still early days & my returns are running at 97.8% after 2 races here, so not quite the time to spit the dummy yet, as such.

that's a good start oz long may it continue m8
