Weclome to the Hawkeye Racing Pigeon Loft.
This website is about the Sport Of Pigeon Racing and my accomplishment in the sport.
The sport of pigeon racing is like any other sport. You first have to be interest in the sport. You
have to desire to do what it takes to be competive in this sport.
There are some basic thing you have to do. First build a loft to base on the number of bird you want to
have.A 10x8x7 loft will hold about 70 bird based on 8 cubic ft per bird. You then can divide the loft into 2 sections. one
for breeding and the other for flyers.
Next is the birds. The biggest question is always what strain is best? I suggest that you talk to
member of that club and then draw your own conclusions.
Next are you loft surveys. Most club use a gps for plotting your loft postion. Some club charge for
this service and some do not. The Cornhusker Invitational racing pigeon Club of Liclon Ne does not charge a new member for
this service. A Saving of about $55.00 Dollars.
I been flying racing homers for most of thirty years. In that time I have won many races. In
1994 i moved for Sioux City Iowa to palmyra Ne which is about 15 miles east of Licloln Ne. Since that time I have won
27 races icluding the 2005 old birds races. Champion bird and Average speed also. In 2003 I recieved the first ever Au
Elite Champion From the American Racing Pigeon Union. In order to recieve this award you must have a bird that has won 5 or
more diaplomas and 2 from a distance of 375 miles or more and a total of 150 pts. The bird that recieved that award as won
7 diaplomas since 1999 from a distance of 100 miles to 400 miles.
I hope that this information might spark your interest in the sport. If you would like more information you can
