[Russell]

Hello to the forum,I just stumbled upon the falconry forum by accident, and thought as a keen falconer i would sgin up and have a look at other peoples ideas on the art of falconry.
I have been flying various hawks and falcons since I was 9, and now at almost 27 i thought it would be time to try my first gos this year, so fingers crossed.8-)

[ibrahim hassan]

Welcome m8, good luck with the gos, are you going imprint or p/r?
Either way hope you have a good season:supz:

He looks a reasonably big male, my male flew around the same weight,my female flew at 2lb 1 to 2lb 2, she goes like a rocket.

[Kerrie]

Bet she does,my male is quick too but i think males generally seem like there going faster cos there smaller than the females!I always find strange now when i go out hunting with my friend that bred my male,he flys a female and she just seems huge compared to my male!!:lol:
