Small to medium-sized birds tend to perform best, both cocks and hens. Lean, well-balanced pigeons have shown great results on this course.I appreciate all the interest so far — let’s make this a great race! If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to reach out to me or any of the current handlers.
