2023 FINAL RACE

We'd like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the participants in the 2023 season! A special shout-out goes to Larry and Sue Bender from Nebraska, whose bird claimed the top spot. Steve Sheary from Goldstar Loft of Illinois secured second place. followed by Ed Sawicki from Michigan of E & S Loft in third. The race featured prizes for the top ten finishers, making it a tough event with no birds arriving on the first day. The leading bird arrived on the second day at 9:08 am, and the race concluded by mid-day.

We want to express our appreciation to everyone that was able to join us, despite the absence of birds on the first day. It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends and forge new friendships.

A big thank you to Chuhu Aaron Cha from 7 Cha Brothers Loft for capturing videos and documenting the event!!

We'll be reaching out to all of you in the coming days regarding the shipping of birds back to their owners and calculate and share information later today regarding the pooling results.

Thank you again!!

UPDATE Hello everyone, I wanted to provide you with a quick update on our bird training progress. On Monday, we took the birds out for a 25-mile toss, and they performed well. Yesterday, we faced intermittent rain throughout the day, so we opted for a loft fly instead of training. Today, we trained the birds, although we started a bit later due to light rain in the morning. We plan to continue training as long as the weather allows, but the forecast shows a 30% chance of rain for the rest of the week. As of now, our plan is on track for the final race scheduled for Monday the 25th. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. Thank you, and have a wonderful day!

LOFT FLY

Due to the current excessive heat and forecasted heat index of 110 and above, we've decided not to train the birds today and tomorrow. Instead, we'll allow them to enjoy loft flying and take a bath to keep cool. We plan to resume training on Friday when the wather is expected to be more favorable.
