WE PAY BY THE DROP.

We had a problem with clock however it is solved.  On the training it has an inventory for Dec. 3, that is actually a 55 mile toss.  Our next toss won't be until Wednesday due to bad conditions on Monday and Tuesday.  Weather for the race on Saturday looks good.

Again get your $100/bird in if you want your bird(s) to go to the 360mi. Superbird Race.  Good luck to all!

We had a 55 mile toss today however there was a clocking error that was not able to be corrected.  The toss went just fine, all birds are home and doing well.  We will be training again on Monday if weather permits it.  See previous update for activating your bird(s) for our Superbird Race.
