flying competition is easy. Put on the Nikes and "just do it" winning aint so easy. But its like the lottery, you cant win if you dont play.

one of the local flyers here gets so nervous he almost dances around his yard while the birds are flying. I bet he dont have to mow his grass for a couple weeks after a fly. Joe Bell gets a kick out of judging his birds ,just for the show he puts on ,on the ground. And he keeps kicking my butt every fly. LOL

Hay Rudy, you have birds from Jim Sherwood. He has excellent rollers. You should have no trouble with them competing. Try my method this coming spring of preping your kit and work with them and they will make you proud.

Tapp, I puked behind the loft and had the dry heeves. Every one enjoyed it. I still get the hebe jeves when I open the doors. Wendell drives all the way down to just watch me, forget the birds. I am getting better. I wish more people would see the birds and not watch me.

I get more fun out of my birds the other 363 days a year. Three weeks before the fly my wife won't even talk to me. She thinks I am crazy running around the yard hollering at the birds in the air to stay up longer or get back in the kit, Or shooting the out bird with a shotgun because I have so many red checks and blacks with white flights. I do enoy the other guys birds at the fly.
