Same here but you get points per position so you need like 30 fighting to get in if you get a drop
Under a second a pigeon really on days like that
When you have birds trapping well like we've seen on those videos the biggest issue is birds failing to scan on ETS
They should be like flies around sh!t - and they fail to scan because they are literally jumping over each other to get into the loft
That's when you know you got them right
My mate RH
Has 10 pads all together in a square then In front of the bobs he had a chicken mesh gate so he’s sure they run over the pads before he lifts it only takes a few seconds but makes sure they have run around

your there again murry mr nasty what's your problem no need the topic has been fine until now
Mate, I'm sorry if I come across as nasty, but sometimes the only way to jolt people out of their mind set is to upset their little apple cart.
Honestly, I'm not nasty at all, on the contrary, but when people start another yarn about how good they are, and how their way of doing it is best, someone has to put a stick in the spokes.
Oh, and by the way, I started the topic.
Don't tell me if it's been "fine" or not.

I don't see anyone praising themselves
Worm put a video up of his own birds and followed system like I do which is different to yours
We then had a video of one of the best sprint lofts in the uk put up again praised by a few
Trev explained how he liked to do it which I could fully understand and it works well for him
we can’t all have the view you want us to have . We had this Saturday where you got paranoid over Covid and was rude and then again in this topic you used words not suitable for the forum .
If you read the last two lines of Buster post he doesn’t want rows etc
Currently your not respecting this
Try to relax and not look for things that are just not there

I've seen some pretty smart ways of trapping pigeons ovr the years
Take a look at Gordon Bros image below
Circled is the area where the YB's trap into.
Once they are in this "landing area" they can run into avaries both on the left and right
It makes no odds whether they go left or right - they run over ETS traps both ways
By doing this I've seen them record 40 pigeons in just 8 seconds
If you race against them and your pigeon hits the top of the loft and scratches its arse you're toast
It's simple as that

That’s a clever way so the central area is like my big board but there way they are grouped together within a open box
Good idea

Yes, when I went there in November I told them they've gotta extend that "landing strip" to enable more birds to hit it

With the drops they get it’s a good point you don’t want them not being able to land then doing a loop if the board had 25 hit it before them
