Dear Fliers,

FEBRUARY 20TH UPDATE

Dear Fliers,

   The first few shipments of birds came in last week, and they looked great. We put the flight pen up as well last week and all the new birds have already been in and out of the aviary and are flying to the ground and back up to the landing board and are getting the hang of things.
   We will take birds until May 20th. Please vaccinate your birds at least 10 days before sending if possible. The birds are vaccinated and chipped upon arrival. Please send birds at a minimum of 35 days old. 40+ days old is ideal. 
 
Thank You Breeders that shipped this week:
Brook Loft
BW Loft
Flying H Ranch
Redtex
Rory Smith
Vicstrom Loft
 
  • If you won a Free Perch Fee last year. It covers the full $125 amount of a perch fee for this year. Sorry, that has been a little confusing where we changed the perch fees this year. 
 
  •  There is now a printable entry form on the website to send with the birds it's on the home page part way down. Also here is the link for it: 3pcEntryForm.pdf (plymouthpeak.com) This is very helpful for us.
 
This is the last week I will put a lot of the information below in the updates for a while so please take note of the following:
 
  •   We are going to keep the Final Race at 350 miles for this year. We have talked to a few breeders getting opinions and suggestions, and if you would like to weigh in, please feel free to do so. Send a short text or fill out the suggestion part of the entry form with your birds.  
  •    The other important change to take note of with the race schedule is that we are moving the 200-mile race out to 233 miles. Historically the 200-mile release point has given us the most problems. We are going to go past it and gain some elevation for the birds, and hopefully help them get lined out a little better this year.
  •   So here is the race schedule for 2024 Races:
 Activation Race - 110 Miles
Race 1 - 159 Miles
Race 2 - 233 Miles
Race 3 - 250 Miles
Race 4 - 312 Miles
Race 5 - 350 Miles 
 
  • More info for 2024:  

Beginning Perch Fee Due with the birds:

For every 2 birds send 1 for Free (Optional)

4 for $180 + 2 Free    10 for $300 + 5 Free

6 for $240 + 3 Free    12 for $360 + 6 Free

Ending Perch Fee: $75 Due for every bird that clocks on the Activation Race. (This includes the birds that had a free beginning perch fee.)

The point system will mainly be used again this year to award the top birds, and a few of the top average speed birds will get paid as well similar to last year. 

At least 75% of the prize money this year will be paid out on the final race. 

Entry Fees - $300

  • If you haven't done so, please reserve perches now it really helps us prepare for the year.

ACCEPTING BIRDS ONLY A MONTH AWAY

Dear Fliers,

    It's crazy to think that the new batch of birds will begin showing up 30 days from now. I hope the breeding season is going well for everyone. I know this seems repetitive, but here's the info for 2024: 
    I have decided to make a few changes for next year. The first change is Perch Fees. I am going to charge 2 separate perch fees. They will be as follows:

Beginning Perch Fee Due with the birds:

For every 2 birds send 1 for Free (Optional)

2 for $100 + 1 Free    8 for $280 + 4 Free

4 for $180 + 2 Free    10 for $300 + 5 Free

6 for $240 + 3 Free    12 for $360 + 6 Free

Ending Perch Fee: $75 Due for every bird that clocks on the Activation Race. (This includes the birds that had a free beginning perch fee.)

Races: I am going to do 5 Races this year instead of 6. Schedule still TBD. I will still do a 300 and a 350 mile race.

I am going to do the point system again this year. I have also decided to move the majority of the prize money to the final race. Last year roughly 50% of the prize money was paid out on the last race. I am going to put at least 75% of the prize money this year on the final 350 mile race. 

Entry fees will stay the same at $300

I will start accepting birds beginning February 15th.

Please reserve perches now. 

Please feel free to call or text me with any questions.

2024 INFO
Dear Fliers,
    I hope everyone had a wonderful and Merry Christmas! I am very pleased with how the races have gone after moving the loft to my home here in Idaho. Overall, the returns have been great from both the training tosses as well as the races. Now that we are approaching the New Year, most of you have your breeders paired up, and are hatching winners for the 2024 One Loft Races. I hope you will consider sending to Plymouth Peak Pro Challenge this upcoming year. I have decided to make a few changes for next year. The first change is Perch Fees. I am going to charge 2 separate perch fees. They will be as follows:

Beginning Perch Fee Due with the birds:

For every 2 birds send 1 for Free (Optional)

2 for $100 + 1 Free    8 for $280 + 4 Free

4 for $180 + 2 Free    10 for $300 + 5 Free

6 for $240 + 3 Free    12 for $360 + 6 Free

Ending Perch Fee: $75 Due for every bird that clocks on the Activation Race. (This includes the birds that had a free beginning perch fee.)

Races: I am going to do 5 Races this year instead of 6. Schedule still TBD. No worries I will still do 2 300-mile races.

I am going to do the point system again this year. I spent a lot of time going over race results comparing top Average Speed birds to High Point birds. Everyone is breeding for 300 mile+ race winners and my point system rewards those types of birds. That being said I have also decided to move the majority of the prize money to the final race. Last year roughly 50% of the prize money was paid out on the last race. I am going to put at least 75% of the prize money next year on the final 350 mile race. 

Entry fees will stay the same at $300

I will start accepting birds beginning February 15th.

Please reserve perches now. 

Please feel free to call or text me with any questions.
