    LOL
    I would say about 98% of people who use electronic clocks use them because you dont have to be there to clock birds.
    The other 2% use them so they dont have to take counter marks off of birds when they come home and lose those few precious seconds.
    I do know some fanciers who refuse to use electronic because they fell it takes away from the good ole days of pigeon racing when you had no choice but to be there to take the counter mark off the pigeon if you wanted to win.
    I myself am a huge fan of electronic clocks.
    My pigeons come home and trap if I am there or not.
    Having that electronic clock makes it where if I had to go out when they are returning from a race I can and still have half a chance at winning.
