The standard used by most fanciers is the top 10% Rule, i.e. loft and bird performance is measured by the number of times their loft or bird(s) place in the top 10% of the competition.
In the pursuit of excellence, MSRL has taken the selection process to a higher plateau, measuring our loft and bird performance at 2% and 5% along with the 10% rule.
Our results from 2004 OBS through 2007 OBS using the Gold Standard are simply amazing. These results are positions won by MSRL. We were limited to a 5 bird clocking rule in 2005 OBS, 2005 YBS and 2006 OBS, making the following results even more impressive.
2% - 179 positions
5% - 310 positions
10% - 560 positions
These results do not include average speeds, Champion Birds, Hall of Fame awards, Digest Awards and One Loft positions.
As an added plus, many, many top positions have been won by our customers and friends. TOO MANY TO LIST.
Best wishes to all that you may reach the level of success that you desire.
