I’d have the same cocks scoring at 348 miles that were scoring from 90 miles Neil. No medications or anything in the water in those days.

I find I have a certain line that’s excellent at 200 miles but fails at 300 miles yet my fvw base pigeons win from 50-350
Trouble is you now need to be in top of health to sprint so I find it best to test regular and treat for things like fungi regular

I agree I need to change my approach a bit with the short distances I’m now racing Neil.
My birds back then were a complete mixture of families. Van Hee, Busscheart, Ko Nipius, Cattryesse, MacDonald, John Ellis and probably a few more lol.

Mine are now Andy I don’t have a pure pigeons
Fvw , zwol . Mikes hen , Gaby . Hereman
All muddled up not worth £5 the lot
I haven’t a clue about what the other lads talk about on here with the new names I just look at results here to be honest the strain/ fashion never comes into my head if it did I would just ask Mike but he knows I haven’t a clue

On another note
The ladies at pigeon testing centre do a offer on testing kits I think it’s 5 for £70 or about that
Works out cheaper than blind treatment although it doesn’t cover respo
One kit from March a month or so or so is a great help I think , plus over the year is only £1.50 a week is how I look at it
