I have found a place to send the moulds and they will do the casting and shipping...I just don't have a quote yet.

I am only going to have 10 done.

Estimate is $3 a lb.  They weigh 2.4 lbs so about $7.20 each...now remember these are shoot and recover  balls...not throw away.  Plus shipping of course. 

At that rate South paw has about $90 buck worth of my balls laying around his farm....drain the pond!!!

They do flat rate boxes if you ask.

I am sending the mold down to the company and as soon as they tell me they can work with it set a final price I will post the details..
