A lot of Cooper's spend the winter in your southern states then return north in the spring. You will for sure lose pigeons to them, best to adapt rather than risk your best birds. Fly the lesser quality pigeons until spring. I cross tippler into my pouters and the crosses are more agile and fast so harder for the Cooper's to catch, plus they remain high in the air for a long time and the Cooper's will get tired of waiting and just fly off. With your setup the Cooper's can easily sneak up on your pigeons at full speed. A single pigeon flying is a much easier target for a Cooper's than is a flock. This is a tippler/pouter first cross I call them "hawk proof". th-cam.com/video/FkHjbKHN5A8/w-d-xo.html

This is a Cooper's hawk, not a Peregrine. Lock up your best pigeons.
