Technically it's live now, I just haven't shared the link yet.

I'm just working a few bits out, and then will share with you all :)
Excellent, well I’m just entering my first season so will be interested to see what it’s like

Re: Which drop is best

It’s probably a daft question to you old hands, but can anyone enlighten me whether being first or last drop is best as I can’t quite get my head around it. I’ve joined 3 clubs - 1 flies north 2 fly south. North club I’m west of the main drag South road 1 I’m south east of most. South road 2 I’m no...

Re: Which drop is best

Like everything, it's not that simple. as that. On a slow day being at the front can be a big help if they trap quickly, on a fast day with a big tailwind the back blokes have the advantage, if their birds are good enough. But not always.

Re: Young birds landing in trees

Hi Pete. I have probably a 40 foot fur tree directly behind the loft. I also have a house beside the loft that stands a good 15 feet above the loft. My birds would have trouble coming directly down onto the loft, certainly as a batch. They do land in the top of the tree or on the roof of the house....

Once training starts I’m planning going depurative mix, right now it’s champion mix 90% plus some safflower. They trap pretty well on the ...
