karl_20 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) hi people i have now decided to get a bird and before you start i have thought long and hard, and i have also found someone who will help me along the way, the thing is i cant decide between the harris and the redtail?? my mate who i will be flying with has had both and said the redtail was by far the more powerful bird and much better on squirrals, i want the bird mainly for rabbit but i would also like a bird than wont struggle on squirral, what is you oppinion? cheers karl Edited March 23, 2009 by karl_20 Quote Link to post
RIOHH 30 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 you will learn alot more from a redtail thats for sure. If its just rabbit and squirell you are after then a female harris will do the job although red tails are better suited for squirell. The other thing you have to consider is will you ever want to fly with friends in a cast if so then you want a harris. im not saying you cant with a red tail but it is ALOT easier with a harris. cheers martin Quote Link to post

adeyhawk1970 0 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Yes they have a very powerful grip,a lot more than a hh or gos.It really makes your eyes water when they grab hold Quote Link to post
trappa 518 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Its not so much which type is better on squirrel, but which particular bird is better. A good harris will be better than a poor footing red -get my drift? Quote Link to post
