No what, don't quite understand there hawkmaster? Are you saying we should be looking at about £700 then?

He can flog them for 200 but the cost will push it up to about 700 with freight. There are people in the RSA that will sell cheap but the transport kills, unless you can buy loads of birds.

surely its only gonna be a 30 - 40 hr period in a box. Or is it stress then or what?

Then it is viable then,you had me worried for a while there. I would really like to fly one again. And i'm sure I will one day, they are so crisp!

If you have time perhaps you can tell me how you rate them for tail chasing doves and pigeons, I loved it.

Sweet on the turn and very much tighter than the Euro ones! I believe their is one at a local centre and she is only small, which would make her awesome on them. You never know they may sell, as they are more into HHs that falcons.
