ESTABLISHING FLYING GOALS

Another critical consideration in pair selection is: what exactly is the end-product expected to be able to accomplish? If the flyer/breeder himself is unable to set down in writing the goals of his own program, then he is condemned to mediocrity. Occasional wins will only tease him with glimpses of hope, while his race record will continue to be inconsistent. The established goal of the flyer will dictate the type of stock selected and the kinds of pairing he will make. It is important to note that the goal is to be successful at the long races, then it is of paramount importance that a family with long distance capabilities be selected. The concept of building around a plan (a breeding plan with an eye to success within a well-defined area of the racing program, i.e., 100- 300 old birds, 300 young bird futurities) is very sound advice.
