There are two types of Distance birds ; The Stayers & the Get home at all costs type ; i'm trying to eliminate the Stayers as all they do is stay at the point & don't come home lol cheers

Very good, killer!

I really don't care, distance racing doesn't interest me very much.

I would happily race every week from 100 or 150 or 200 miles with widowhood cocks.

But everyone has their own aims in the sport, which makes the game more interesting. I like to go on PIPA and see who has excelled in the big national and international races.

I just wouldn't be doing it myself.

I used to be like that Muzza. Since starting back though I decided that I was going to concentrate on the long distance. Although a lot of waiting it’s great when after many hours on the wing to see one drop. We can only imagine what they have gone through to get home. I do want birds that can do it in good time and not ones that turn up days or weeks later.

I have done the opposite, distance racing used to be my thing but since having the birds back again I am enjoying the shorter races. I haven't really got any goals at the moment and my system certainly won't compete with the big guns in sprint racing. My foundation of birds are mostly distance birds but I did get some shorter distance pigeons last year who's offspring are certainly coming well this youngbird season. For now I am just enjoying being back in the sport and will just see where it takes me.
