Training Update 49.053 Miles Jesse James Wax Mueseum
Jumped the birds another 10 miles to Stanton, MO (49.053 Miles) and joint tossed with Matt J. May (SouthTown Racers). The birds did very well, and the YPM improved from 700 to 1100 on a Southeast 10mph cross/head wind. Tomorrow we jump another 10 miles to Bourbon, MO!

40 Mile Jump Update
The jump from 10 miles to 40 miles went very well. The YPM was pretty slow, like 700 (haha), but that is to be expected and speed is not a concern at this time (This is their 4th toss overall). I think they joined up with the birds from the Illinois clubs, not sure. I had a handful of pigeons show up with mine that continued on North. I had 25 on the initial drop, and the remaining knuckleheads came 5 minutes later...100% accounted for!

Road Training Update
Training is coming along nicely. We went a couple miles last Sunday. Today, we double tossed from 7 and 10 miles. We're jumping them to the 40 mile point, and holding there through the next couple of weekends. Birds are fully winged and through the body molt...looking like these two... The season starts Aug. 18th - I love YB racing!
