I think much of it depends on the area the birds are flying too, narrow corridor fed or a fed that covers two or three counties.

Re: Are Your Pigeons Too Heavy For The Race?
It all sounds very complicated to me :lol: I don't believe anyone can handle a pigeon and know it's at it's perfect racing weight.
