I'm not sure why this was posted?

I think he's telling you that throwing pigeons under a falcon at a nafa meet with a crowd of onlookers is not going to happen. Unless you have some kind of remote controlled racing pigeon. Never know just saying.

[Maverick976]

Ok that is not for me to decide or to debate in an announcement. Thanks

I don't mean to be that guy but isn't throwing a live pigeon underneath a falcon kind of the point of the sky trails. By the way, I'm a huge fan of sky trials, not hating on them. Just interested.

The judged sequence of each flight is determined from the time the falcon is cast off to the time it catches or gives up on the competition pigeon, and the falconer has reported to the head judge with his or her falcon. A total of 15 minutes is allowed for this flight. Any other flying beyond this is not judged, and points will be deducted at 1 point per minute for going overtime. During this flight, the falcon will be judged onpitch, stoop and the pursuit after the stoop.
