The price must of come down....we have used the G-2 now, and it is very practical, and user friendly.....if cost is a major concern then it is a good buy. If cost is not that big of a deal then the M-1 has more bells on whistles on it. It's the older expresses which are less user friendly...we have used them all. Like I said in previous post, for 95% of fanciers, G-2 is fine.

This post started over a year ago. I used the g2 for young birds last year. (My OB season starts Sunday) I like it very much. I have not missed a scan yet. Also a very handy tool for training too. I can hear the birds droping in the trap as I type this.

Man the price of these clocks are crazy! How does the average joe or youngster get in to the sport of pigeon racing with this type of purchase. I mean $500 is a huge chunk of change and hard to swallow when one spends less than a $100 for a small loft and some birds. I don't own a clock yet but I will eventually get one and most likely a used one! You can call me cheap but I've got a family to feed. Just sharing my thoughts...lol.

Well this is one of the reasons we came up with the two classes of membership at the York Racing Pigigeon Club. Within our "100 Mile Club" there is no need for a pigeon clock. We do it just like in the olden days, you pull off the countermark and call it in. This concept has been adopted by the Loft Stormers in Iowa, and as I result, their club as grown to at last count, 22 members. And keep in mind, they ownly started this year. So, that $100 loft, and no pigeon clock needed, is within reach of many thousands of people.

Here is a link to a G-2 instruction booklet, if you offer some information, as to model, the search would be fairly simple. If it is a G-2, then all you need to do is be able to read and follow the instructions.

If it is some other model, you could always call the dealer and ask to purchase the instruction booklet. http://www.siegelpigeons.com/catalog-timers-M-1.html
