Re: hows everyones
hi rene, ive 28 ybs and looking at them they are coming along very nicely......but exerciseing is another matter, they wont/dont fly around the loft and its got to the stage now where they are going to have to be forced up or i wont be racing this year.......so it will be quite a big pie at the end of the year i think.....

im going to have to be hard with them rene, ill force them up to fly and then train in a few weeks......whatever happens they will all be at that first race so if any come home they do, if they dont they dont.....simple as that im afraid.

Re: hows everyones
ive been a soft toutch over the last couple of years and listening to the way other fanciers train and i know they dont give out secrets but iv been watching for a while now to see where im going wrong and ive put it down to the way that im traing leaving it to late and not traing on my own so they learn to break off at a certain poin for home

Re: hows everyones
your right rene, some will give good advise and others will give none, its just up to ourselves to listen and make up our own minds what we decide to do........one thing a mutual friend of ours told me...."dont treat them as pets".........
