Yb training

[Anthony webster]

I don't start to about month before racing but some times I will toss 10 times in one day n toss regularly mine might get from 1st July until last race between 80 n 100 plus tosses .

I think bigger the radius the more they want training ,,
5 mins in wrong batch n its race over ,
Last season 9 races fed is 100 miles by 70 I was in first 8 of fed 9 weeks running ,if I had just loft flown they would of got hammered.

I’ll start about 3 weeks before the first race. Will have around 3 tosses at 9 miles and 3 around 18 miles and that’s it for me.

I think I will have 65-70
Do you not train short in the week between races or with your radius I guess it’s pointless

I’m just not one for training. By the time we start racing some of those in our club who have been training heavy have very few left. I was 2nd & 5th from the first young bird race and had the best returns in the club only dropping 1 bird. I dropped another in the second race but did lose a few in the third which was a terrible race. After that I lost hardly any before the end of the season. The ones left had all 8 young bird races.
But as you say with our combine they are going to get pulled all over the place. When I just raced in the nationals they would get half a dozen trainers before going 100+ miles and being dragged all over the country.

I understand m8 but I hear this weekly off flyers like it's a achievement, I got them all home ,I don't understand that there's no prizes for full returns so I can't see the big thing about full returns it's nice but racing pigeons is about racing n winning surely .
It's a nightmare here now for peregrines but these will get same treatment up at 3 30am in basket down Rd n trained .

Very hard to race 35 Miles

Pointless really I don’t know what the answer is
I think I would send to Brighton but it’s awful way to enjoy your hobby
These wide feds are just daft only a quarter of the convoy can win
But I guess less fanciers means it’s got to happen

I've found in these wide feds if the wind is below 10mph u can pull good birds n get good results against the odds the dummy's go past but there dummy's the good ones seem to be OK, if wind is say 13mph n over ya pissing in the wind with top pigeons ,,this is from my experience in them feds.

Makes sense that
I guess being so spread out helps a bit from individual lofts be crap in a wide fed against say a top fancier with 80 away each week in the prevailing wind

Be hard for sure ,big teams are hard to race I've tried 60 n failed prefer less so things done correctly n not rushed.

I think it’s circumstances
It you have 2/3 partners it’s easy on your own and working impossible I think
I notice some people just race a big team of ybs and don’t bother with old birds to make things easier
I would rather peck up if I couldn’t race old ones

I be honest Neil I never care what others do I couldn't care if they had 350 each they have to feed n send em pal ,all I know is more you have the less enjoyable it becomes,

Just wondering, about this point you made here, how far are you taking them? And do you have to alter the feeding when training this much?

Cheers
