arcticgun 4,548 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 think you need a set of blocks which are approximates of standard head sizes for both falcon and tiercel of each type, and also the hawks, from what I seen the blocks are very expesive, seen some sold for £400 a set and there where some missing, good luck with it Quote Link to post
the big chief 3,099 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 cheers pall i will sort it out i recon Quote Link to post
grovsey 74 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 U only need blocks for dutch Anglo can be made without them I have sent u a pm and a good reply mate with my number .I paid $800fir my blocks and was worth every penny ,the dvd is worth watching and a lot of help is having the right tools ect to make it a lot easyier You will find is hood makers won't give away the best patterns and u have to get one and work on altering it till its perfect then up/down size them by 2% every time giving u a set .if u buy block they come with a few sets I used Rollins blocks Quote Link to post
