Jerry I have one that just did the same thing.it started rolling early at three month it roll 20 to 25 ft fast tight H-style .on its way down it hit hard on the grass maybe that save her.I didn't give her a chance to see if she does it again I put her away for about 3 to 4 weeks till she matures a little feeding her a good mix protien.when its up high it never roll down so I don't consider her a roll down..it got excited coming down and bump.sometime with the rest they don't do it again as they maturing a little some keeps doing it those are the one I cull or they cull themself..that's why I rest them after they bump one time.. sometime they don't get over it and keep doing it..I take away their licence so to speak by giving them time to forget about it and mature..this is why I don't like my birds starting that early it always worry me if they going to last..good luck.. P.S. soon as she goes back up and if and don't bump again I will not fly her everyday.every other day or 2 days.. ---------- Ralph.

what I did to my youngster that was bumping "only on landing " was when feeding , I started waiting for them to all land . Then I would call them in , I noticed that the youngster was getting excited and then let one go . Then once i feed the radial off feed I started taking it out and giving another spoon on feed ....... Thats just what I have done and it worked for me ..But I am new to the sport. Good luck
