Do you flag your naturals Steve
No not usually
What kind of flying time do they do for you at home
I remember Shane who I got my fvw from flew just as well natural as he did on other systems but did train one sex in the morning the other in the afternoon to 35/40 miles
I can see how that worked but he had local training service to take the birds
I sometimes think about flying a few distance pigeons for Thurso and Lerwick into my small 5 foot shed on natural but I can’t really have a open lift or extended time allowed out
I try to get a couple of 30/40 mile tosses into them a week. Then one or two afternoons in the week open loft.
Terry Haley flies really well down your way doesn't he Neil totally natural and has done for many many years. Think I read he won fed 6 times this year. Short and long distance with same pigeons
What a flyer Terry is flys natural trains all directions and races brilliant north south at all levels ,,he's one flyer I really admire in this sport and a nice person the few times iv met him.
Yeah definitely seems from the old school top class fancier. Very simplistic approach and good mate of Mark Bulleds as well I believe.
Was only chatting to Terry Saturday and as Tony says a real nice chap.
