Weight-4.5oz
Flight Range-100-150 ft
This large rang is a lot of fun for the advanced adult thrower but is not recommended for kids. It was modeled after the beautiful Falcon that happens to take residence in the Vermont town of Westmore up in the cliffs of Mt. Pisca . Must be thrown with a great deal of force and spin with a moderate amount of layover/tilt. Throw a little more into the wind (30 degrees or so) on less windy days. The flight pattern is very graceful and slow moving and stays relatively close to the ground in a very elliptical pattern. It tends to arc a bit higher on its return so make sure it is thrown with not too much layover and not too far away from the wind. Take care when attempting to catch as it has a large wing span and could be dangerous if not caught in a horizontal position (make sure to wear gloves and eye protection).
