KITBOSS

KITBOSS Mobile App For Flying Rollers

Flying isn’t the hard part. Remembering all the details in a systematic way is.

KITBOSS Pro version tracks up to 4 Teams, captures bird behavior and traits, team chemistry and changes, conditions, and scores in one place so we can stop relying on memory and start seeing patterns more clearly — fly after fly.

How I Learned to Explain the Need For Multiple Kits

Over the years I’ve had more “bird talks” than I can count. A guy will be doing the work — flying the birds, changing up feed, mixing birds — and he’s frustrated because the birds don't roll or kit. They just are not getting it done and he can’t put his finger on why.

Most of the time it isn’t because he doesn’t have good stock. It’s because he’s trying to run too many different types of birds out of one box and keep everything straight on scraps of paper or in his head. There's no system in place to help him.

That’s when I tell him a simple truth: if you want to fly good birds you need more than one kit box. Not as a hobby luxury — but as a basic requirement. Birds at different ages, stages of development, and different feed requirements have to be separated if you want clean progress.

The Analogy That Makes It Click

The easiest way I’ve found to explain it is the analogy of a high school sports program.

A real program isn’t “one team.” It’s a pipeline. You’ve got freshmen, sophomores, JV, and varsity — and the coaches decide where the talent and experience belong so the varsity team can win on Friday night.

That’s the same structure we’re running in a roller loft, whether we realize it or not:

Team A (Varsity): the benchmark kit — the current best, at a minimum.
Team B (JV): the tune-up kit — where good birds go to rest, settle, or get straight again.
Team C (Sophomore): the development kit — birds coming on but not steady yet.
Team D (Freshman / Young Birds): the young bird program — different routine, different needs and expectations.

Coaches don’t mix freshmen with varsity starters and hope for the best. They separate squads, give the right training and reps, and move players up when they’ve earned it. That’s how you build a winning varsity team — and that’s how you build a good team of kit birds - Team A.

What “Proper Flying” Really Means

When I say “proper flying,” I’m not talking about magic tricks. I’m talking about simple discipline: separating birds by stage, flying on purpose, and keeping the standard protected so you can actually measure progress.

Team A is the standard. If you let Team A get contaminated with birds that aren’t ready — or birds that are pulling the kit apart — you don’t just lose one fly. You lose the rhythm, and then you’re back to guessing and ruining the reward and satisfaction of flying a good team.

Why Team B Matters (and Why It’s Not “Second Rate”)

I always tell guys: JV isn’t the junk team. JV is where a lot of talent sits. And in rollers, Team B is where a lot of good birds go when they need rest, a different schedule, or a different mix — without wrecking Team A’s rhythm.

That’s also where you learn faster, because you can make one clean change and see how the team reacts over the next couple flies.

Team D Is Often a Different Program

Young birds need their own routine. They’re learning to kit, trap, handle pressure, and fly the pattern without panic. If you force them into the upper teams too early, you can ruin the young birds — and you can definitely ruin good birds that take on bad habits when flown with birds birds that are not ready.

Where KITBOSS Fits (Without Getting in the Way)

Here’s the part most guys relate to: paper and memory are inconsistent. Some days you write things down. Some days you don’t. Notes get lost. And after two or three weeks, you can’t remember what you changed or when the change really began.

KITBOSS doesn’t teach you how to fly. It documents what happened — team by team, break by break — with quick inputs, movement, organization, and reports that make the next decision obvious.

Bird’s-Eye View: What KITBOSS Covers (In One Place)

These are not “random app features.” These are the exact moving parts we already manage in real life — just organized, saved, and easy to review.

Fly Day (what happened)	• 20-bird competition scoring (break-by-break) • 11-bird tally scoring (single bird scoring and depth tiers) • Break timer + break logging (size + timestamps) • Weather & conditions (auto-fetch + manual) • Flight details saved as one clean record
Birds (who’s helping)	• Roster (band #, team, notes, photos) • Bird profiles + evaluations (running record over time) • BOSS recommendations (keep / monitor / move / pull) • Photo gallery (visual ID and documentation)
Teams (the program)	• Four teams (A–D) with separate histories • Feed profiles saved per team (mix + protein target warnings) • Team performance reports (trend lines, best/worst, comparisons) • Reports hub (top performers, loft trends, learning curve)
Practical Tools (keep it moving)	• Innovative & Powerful 11 and 20 Bird Competition Level Scoring feature • Useful Reports at the Press of a Button • Subscription management (Upgrade from Free to Pro level)

In other words: scoring, breaks, weather, feed, bird notes, team movement, and reports — all tied together so we can stop guessing and start seeing what’s actually going on.

Scoring Gives Us a Yardstick (Not Just a Feeling)

When we want it, KITBOSS gives us digital 11-bird and 20-bird scoring options built around rules recognized by local and national roller pigeon clubs. That means we can compare Team A vs Team B honestly, and we can also line our numbers up against published club results for a reality check.

We’re not changing how we fly. We’re simply putting a measuring stick to the work we’re already doing.

The Whole Point Is Cleaner Decisions

Most kits don’t fall apart in one dramatic day. They leak first — breaks get smaller, the kit gets loose, birds start going sideways, they land too early, control slips. Without a record, we notice it late and we guess at causes.

With KITBOSS, we can see the story by team and by bird. Team A stays the benchmark. Team B is where we tune birds without contaminating Team A’s rhythm. Team C shows who is truly improving over multiple flies. Team D keeps young birds on their own program until they’re ready.

That stored history starts revealing patterns. That’s when decisions stop feeling like guesses.

Start Simple

Stop trying to remember all the details. Establish KITBOSS as your tracking system. Set up your teams, build your feed mixes, log your flys, and use the record to make clean moves: move birds down to protect Team A, promote birds when they've earned it, remove birds that can't keep up.

No theories. No politics. Just the truth — measured one flight at a time.
