r-o-b-p 3 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 just wondering if anyone flys in comp or keeps highflyers (tipplers) cheers ROBERT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DOVEY182009 12 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Alright mate, ive been around tipplers since i was a young boy. My dad flys in the ntu and does canny well. His mate is top draw with these birds. His best time is just short of 20 hours and he has won the old bird averages a few times. His pall flew just short of 21 hours i think. Its a bit of a shitter when a falcon takes one of ur kit out the sky on a fly day haha Amazing to watch tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rocky1 942 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) you on about tony veeta ,i flew 17 hours last year with young birds [not comp]i night trained them ,still got the same kit left ,but now i,m noW into raceing pigeons now ££££££££££££££££ Edited March 31, 2011 by rocky1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DOVEY182009 12 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Tony aint got the record mate but he is one of the best in the game. Got his stock stolen and it must have nocked his plugg in because he aint flying comp no more. Didn't know you wer into ur birds mate, did you do the 17 hours using the split rule aswell? And aye mate racers are where most lads turn. If there was £££££ in the tippler game it would be a sell out but probably promote cheating. Good tiplers should be worth much more than they get sold for but even flying competition is non profitable unlike racing pigeons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rocky1 942 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 what you mean about the useing the split time rule ,i was just doing it for a hobby mate ,the racers and my alloment are my summer hobbys and the veg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DOVEY182009 12 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 HAha my summer hoby is young bitches down the beach haha And the spilt rule comes in once ur birds hav been flying an hour into dark. (oficial dark) then ur kit have to fly together and cant spit. If they split then you have an hour to get ur birds down and in and then ur times taken from the moment you show ur light. If ur birds split on say 17 hours, then you can still squeeze 17hours 45minutes by leaving urself 15 minutes to drop and cage ur birds. (got a bit carried away there haha) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JAKEHOUND 0 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 harry shannon holds the record in ireland 2205 hrs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DOVEY182009 12 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 harry shannon holds the record in ireland 2205 hrs Thats the 1 mate, he has the ntu record in england and ireland if i'm not mistaken. Apparently he has a hell of an advantage coz he lives in the midle of no where so if his birds back boards fall out they have no choice but to bail in bounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
