SKYLEADER GPS RINGS

[@flamclub8336]

Hi Steven Greetings from Canada I had bands on 2 old birds the entire race season in 2018 Fascinating to see the tracks, every week was a story into itself I put the 5 dummy rings on 2 months behind season started and left them on the 2 birds that seemed to get used to them the best.

[@ssbrownracingpigeons37]

@@flamclub8336 that’s class! It’s unbelievable where they cover! yeah we certainly have a story for the next video never seen anything like it!!!

[@DwarfTossing101]

Ji, thanks for taking the time to do the video. It was good. Think of buying this kit for my dad. How have you found it working since and have you used it in any races yet?

[@ssbrownracingpigeons37]

Tbh they are excellent for the information they give out! I would recommend them for sure but I've yet too have the balls to put them on for a race! If I'm honest 😂😂 I maybe keep then for the old birds and there's more experience birds and would like to know there line abit better I think but definitely a great investment 👌

great video one day i’ll get them in the future

Ace video mate and young birds looking great. How many you got in your team

[@ssbrownracingpigeons37]

Thanks Richard appreciate that, doing the last count on Thursday here when putting the ets on, there’s hopefully about 95/100 I hope 🙃😂😂 last trainer today so see what it brings mate

[@richardhughes1076]

@ssbrownracingpigeons37 mint mate. Good luck for youngbird season and I be following you

[@Sleepwalk60]

Great product know Belgian fanciers use it , shows you the lines they take and will have you wondering why certain pigeons take the route that they have lol

[@ssbrownracingpigeons37]

@@Sleepwalk60 definitely now scratch my head of how do you fix it lol suppose it down to them to pick the right and fastest one 😂

[@seanmurdock9991]

Hello Stephen were you liberated the birds is just across the rd from were I grew up lol. In one of the 2 white semi detached houses on your left heading out of the village

[@ssbrownracingpigeons37]

Ahhh right lol Northern Ireland certainly is a small world 😂😂😂

[@seanmurdock9991]

Clocked a few section f winners over there in mid nineties.

[@neilkershaw5348]

Biggest problem for me is you have to home the bird first before you can see which route it took. Surely there’s a ETs ring in the production that you can follow the bird home on your computer

[@ssbrownracingpigeons37]

that would certianly be more ideal neil!! to be able to watch the route live would be fantastic!!! but yes hopefully something for the future :)

[@desburke7786]

Seen these rings a few years ago aome guy in america using them training, after time his birds started to take a more direct line home from his training spot except for the last part near home where they had to either go over a mountain or around it, in the end they only went over it with a tail wind saving time, otherwise they went around, wether you would use 1 or not are you boys allowed to use them during racing?*. I would love to see there line of flight from say skibereen in a south wind , and then in a west wind pushing them out to the coast. But the strange ting is ive seen the northern Ireland pigeons go over my house hedge hopping in a north wind and also seen them up half a mile like dots in a tail wind, so why all so often do they fly across dublin instead of going up land more often as the crow flys, well if you lads are allowed and you choose to use them, we will all learn an awful lot stephen. Lovely batch of young birds pal, best of luck for Saturday and the rest of the Y/B Season ❤

[@ssbrownracingpigeons37]

Yeah, they are certainly interesting… tbh pigeons will always have questions to them. The one that got hit at that race line the next day the pigeons seem to avoid that area. Probably very similar in racing not using a line where they have been attacked god only knows des. Tbh I think it would hamper a pigeon with them rings on at a race point, my view really is they find them uncomfortable so don’t know if it would suitable. Mind you I’d love to see the path for sure mate! Thanks des my nerves are shot already! 🙃🙃

[@desburke7786]

@ssbrownracingpigeons37 may be continue with the fake ring all week during training and lift flying and in the loft with a chosen handful, but take it off basket day, and maybe 7 races down the line change it to the GPS ring and try 1 race with it and see how it goes, surly by then they would be well use to it, and should not hamper there flight home, just to see what way they flew home. Sure they have to go, if there well trained now, which I'm sure they are, bar a smash race they be grand, and the chances of that is very small. Weather in Dublin for Saturday is rain upto 80% at times, so you lads might go Friday, but Sunday is a lovely day sunny 18° and a south west wind, you lads be down as far as Navan??, did you're Da ever tell you that you only have a loan of them, you dont actually own them until the day you lock them in the stock loft pal??😁

[@ssbrownracingpigeons37]

@@desburke7786 see how we go mate, some horror stories with training at the mo, bit a sticky one ourself, i was that bad one of the hens that went to french returned with them hahahah pigeons certainly make you wonder and have many questions lol

[@desburke7786]

@ssbrownracingpigeons37 they must have nipped as far as England to get her to bring her home lol, she mite do you a turn next season, was she living out or had she being in do you tink stephen??. Did you loose many on that toss??, now there was a toss to see on that ring scanner to see where it brought them to at all. Break you're heart at times the fcukrs 😁😅

[@ttrpigeons6356]

Have they reduced the ‘bulk & weight?’ Yet… I kept putting them on ‘good birds’ …and that was the birds I lost!!🤔🤔

[@ttrpigeons6356]

It is a Fantastic system! 🥳🥳👍👍🫶🫶

[@ssbrownracingpigeons37]

they are bulky still mate, dont think the pigeons enjoy them on there legs, we the dummies on a few days just in the lofts, then put the live one on as we basket them. like anything with pigeons at the min just need some luck pal 🙈🙈🤞

[@merv690]

Hi Steven, I have always thought that pigeon fanciers have always been left behind with technology, I always through that in this day and age a micro chip could be incorporated in the life ring so that which ever ets system you used could read it but the I guess the ets company's wouldn't get the income from ets rings , but I agree with you on these rings they seem too bulky but it is interesting to see the different lines they take who knows what they contend with

[@ssbrownracingpigeons37]

@@merv690 we just need the live tracking and it would make it all the interesting mervyn 😂😂 but it a great insight none the less. As you say with the ets rings etc would probably cost a fortune to buy for your teams of youngsters I’d say there’s a guts of 90/100 there lol 🙈🙈 but will know better once the ets rings will go on mate Definitely a good investment for sure 👍

Hiya mate, what size are your gos rings 11mm or 12.2mm? Sorry for all the questions pal thinking about getting it for yb season, how much does it cost ? Great videos as per mate 😊

[@ssbrownracingpigeons37]

hi gary thanks mate appreciate that! we went with the 11mm rings, the dummy ring clip on dead on, but with the live rings you have to push the life ring into the slot so it fits on securely. They are a great job but will leave you wondering why pigeons pick certain lines lol My advice is to sent them a email mate about your interest, they help me out. great company in that regards. well done on a great season and best of luck with the young ones mate 🤞🤞👍👍

[@G-JHuntRacing]

@ssbrownracingpigeons37 cheers for getting back to me pal, I can imagine seeing there routes will defently get me scratching ma head lol... I hate the not knowing so I will defntly get it ASAP, I'll drop them a email tomorrow and have a chat, And thanks really am happy how the hens performed this year, gotta say a massive well done to you and ya dad aswell on a impressive old bird season 🔥 🔥 🔥 all the best for the nutty young bird season, we start this week 😫 😫 that first one always scares the shit outta me, take care pal 👍

@@G-JHuntRacing yeah its interested not much you can do about it lol, just hope when you let them out off the hamper there's one that pick the fastest line, with youngster i think there alot of learning so may take a bit more time, would like to see them on the old birds! lol but nothing you can do when they hit the air lol! best email them say you do videos etc and send them a link to your youtube channel pal. yeah a bit like yourself cant fault them birds! they flew extremely well weekly! they call it funny season! nothing funny about it!!! would break your heart youngsters. but praying for a smooth season! horror stories you hear certainly make you feel sick for our pigeons! bless you gary! best of luck 🙌🤞👍
