- Frank answers questions and gives insight from buying, breeding, genetics, care and tips for one loft racing but much applies for any breeding pigeons. Frank offers insight on starting out in one loft racing from buying to shipping to the race. New or established fanciers will benefit from this insight. We no longer do visits to the lofts at McLaughlin Lofts but will open the lofts for the IF Convention.

Just bought one from frank month ago guys you will not be disappointed super quality
I got a question for the one loft races. Will it become a points system. Here is my example for you to think and see if it maybe could become the future for the one loft races. So let's say you could only enter 1 birds. You could only have max 2 birds in that one loft, the other one could be the replacement if something ever happens to them. So 10 races. Maybe 11-12 races if there was a tie and/or to finish up for the third place. So the points system I want to make for an example is when you get into that first race. If you make it into the ten percent or lets just say 1-10, all the ones who got to that place gets 5 points. 11-20 place gets 4 points. 21-30 gets 3 points and so on so on until no more points. So whoever pigeons racks more points for the races, wins. That will determine what pigeons are faster with their genetics. And will focus more on breeding quality type of racing pigeons. The races have to be 400 miles every race. The prep race could be 250 miles. It doesn't have to be 400 miles, it could be 300 miles, depends on what that one loft max miles that the one loft races wants. But the race have to be that same drop off. Now it did say 1 pigeon can only be racing for you but if the loft system want to race 2 birds then you can slightly change the point system. And for example if your two birds make it into the 10 percent. That second bird will only count as 1 point also the bird will not be counted in the percentage, the next bird behind that bird will count and get those points. So it will be as fair as possible for everyone to get some points. This is just an example only, I think there is a better points system then this if someone really thinks of one and to make it as fair as possible so everyone gets a chance. And may the best pigeons keep on winning and improving the racing genetics. This is just a thought only for the one loft races. Just wondering what the future of one loft races can become.
Frank! Another great video! You can give those two my contact number. I am still in SC till this upcoming September. My Race Club Secretary in Greenville is a Lizzie Mae distributor. But I do both, Lizzie Mae and Tractor Supply feed as well. But if they live in that area or willing to make a drive there it will save on shipping for sure. He does an order every other month. But it is an awesome sport, as you know this was my first year racing and I have already made so many fancier friends.
I also have another question for one loft races. If your bird doesn't have any pedigree and your bird won, what do you actually need to show to claim prizes. I'm a bit confused can you help clarify a bit more on those Hoosier classic races, like what is activation means throughout those races, if your bird won and doesn't have a pedigree or do you make up one, can you also win something in the first race throughout all those races, just so if new flyers do race in a Hoosier race, they can prepare first and know what they need before putting a bird in a Hoosier one loft race. Make a video and talk about it.
My opinion are that you are not a really onest pigeon fancier because you have pigeons in the auktion in algarve golden race but they are without pedigree.if you won I'm sure you left a pedigree..and don't delete the comment regards from sweden
