Elchapo 3,167 Posted November 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 There peregrine x American is a gutsy little fecker to lol there great to watch flying and once they get on things the flights can be great , the lad who owns them is 72 and still gets out regularly with them but I can’t help but imagine the flights he could get if he just a little more nimble , there’s a spot near him which holds some thick cover if he could get up through there he would have a better position at the quarry Quote Link to post
Moorman 1 1,446 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 He should slip from a vehicle he would be able to get a lot closer to the quarry. The pere x AK's are gutsy little things and don't seem to realise their size, or lack of it, lol. Quote Link to post

Yea I’m going offer to drive him round do bit car hawking , or offer to try get a slip from the cover for him , some the farmers tracks through the fields will get us close enough for a decent slip 2 Quote Link to post
