From left to right the stations are:
Bird 1 – Flyer: (we will refer to this bird as F for Flyer)
This mark is a rooster up the hill behind the large pond. This group of three
gunners will throw then shoot to the right with the rooster landing
approximately 301 yards from the mat in a field of tall grass with mowed strips.
Bird 2 – Right Retired: (we will refer to this bird as RR for Right Retired)
This
bird is on the right side of the large pond in a brushed blind at the
water's edge. The two gunners come out to throw and shoot a dead drake
mallard. This duck lands on an island in front of them and converges
with Flyer, approximately 296 yards from the mat.
The
well-brushed blind has two gunners who come out and stand at the left
edge of the large pond. They shoot and throw left with the dead hen
mallard landing behind a strip of cover 204 yards from the mat. This
test is taking approximately 15-20 minutes per dog.
The order will be:
Flyer
Right Retired
Left Retired
Bird 1 – Flyer – 301 yards |
