How far out of the kit is considered an out bird? I am planning on competing next year and would like to know if I have the right stuff. I know that I need birds that stick like glue but I have to raise and train them first. I am curious how far away one can be returning to the kit and still be called out if the kit makes another turn.

sippi if I am correct
1.)If a bird rolls and exits the wrong way it is an out bird.
2.)If a bird rolls and before returning to the kit rolls again its also an out bird. After a bird roll it must return dirrectly to the kit.

I'd like to hear from more of you on this. I have read the rule too, but have seen it applied differently. What say you? What makes a bird out for purposes of scoring? Please dont just recite the rule, give some examples of out or acceptable ....

I was under the impression that it did not matter if the bird finished the roll facing the kit or not, as long as the bird made a Bee line back to the kit. But I know we all want the bird to finish facing the kit, and not have to make a big loop to get back. So if a bird does finish the roll in the wrong direction, but is trying to get back to the kit, is this an "Out Bird" ?

Again its my opinion, Facing wrong way after completing the roll would affect his quality marks,if attempting to get back to kit right away and succeeding I would not mark as an out Bird/my reasoning on an out bird is a bird who is out for a period of time,for any amount of reasons,or for apparently no reason at all,with a dose of common sense being the yardstick which a Judge might apply in such instances

An outbird is a bird that can not keep up or stay with the kit for any length of time whether it is trying to return to kit but taking his time or wishing to fly above, under or away from the kit. The best kits should be flying wing tip to wing tip, otherwise, a kit is considered a loose kitters.
