david901 164 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I have to disagree in part. If you slip a female Red Tail at a rabbit by the time it gets going the rabbit may have escaped. However a male at about 2lb 2oz is perfect. They will go through a brick wall to get it. Had both male and female. Still got original female and have to say females are faster, stronger (bigger). Not in an additional burst they are not. A rabbit bolting say to about 25 yards the smaller male is quicker and then after that the female would catch it quicker. Considering a rabbit usually is in cover by then a male is mutch better It's simple physics! That may be true[ never flown a male RT] but a female will crash cover like nothing else Quote Link to post
