9th Series Test Description

9th Series Test Description
Beaver Run Farm, 572 Gosa Road, Leesburg, GA

Land Triple with 2 Converging Marks and a Flyer

This is a very tight Land Triple. There are 2 almost equal distance converging marks. They are both Hen Pheasants. Beyond these marks is another gun station where they will shoot a Rooster Flyer left out of the test.

The order of the birds will be as follows:

Bird #1 is a dead Hen Pheasant. This gun station is to the handler's right towards the top of the hill. These gunners shoot and then throw  the pheasant angled back right to left landing approximately TBA yards from the mat. The gunners remain standing until the dog picks up the Flyer and then they will retire. (we will refer to this bird as RR for Right Retired)

Bird #2 is also a dead Hen Pheasant. This gun station is located almost in the middle of the field. The station is a very similar distance as Bird #1. The gunners shoot and then throw this pheasant right to left angled back. They will also retire at the same time as Bird Station #1, after the Flyer is picked up. This bird will land approximately TBA yards from the mat. (we will refer to this bird as MR for Middle Retired)

Bird #3 is a Flyer station. These guns are located deep of the converging birds and just off of the left side of Bird #2. The gunners stand and throw a Rooster Pheasant - shooting it and having it land approximately TBA yards from the mat. (we will refer to this bird as F for Flyer)

This test is taking approximately 6-8 minutes per dog to complete.

Dog #55 Starts this Series
