About the Calculator

This velocity calculator is designed specifically for pigeon racing, helping you calculate your bird's speed in multiple units:

  • YPM (Yards per Minute) - Standard measurement in pigeon racing
  • MPM (Meters per Minute) - Metric equivalent for international use
  • KPH (Kilometers per Hour) - Common speed measurement

How to Use

  1. Enter the race distance in kilometers or miles
  2. Choose either:
    • Direct flight duration (hours, minutes, seconds), or
    • Liberation and arrival times
  3. Click calculate to get your results

Pro Tips:

  • For most accurate results, use the liberation/arrival time method
  • Double-check your distance measurements for precise calculations
  • Times are calculated automatically when using liberation/arrival method

Understanding Velocity Calculations

Velocity in pigeon racing is crucial for determining race results and comparing performances across different distances. The calculations take into account:

  • Total distance traveled
  • Actual flight time
  • Standard conversion factors between units

Note: This calculator uses standard conversion rates:

  • 1 mile = 1760 yards
  • 1 kilometer = 1093.61 yards
  • 1 yard = 0.9144 meters
