Test Description - 5th Series

5th Series Test Description

The 5th Series test will be a Land Double. 42 dog/handler teams will start this series.

5th Series Sponsor is the PRTA


Land Double
The 5th series is a Land Double with a Hen Pheasant and a Hen Pheasant Flyer. We are at the "Grader Field." This field drops down below the line and then has a steep rise on the opposite side. There is a gravel road that climbs up the right side, and a dense tree line borders the left side of the field with a fence across the top.

This test has the mat facing West and sits at an angle facing the Hen Pheasant Flyer station, while the dead Hen Pheasant station is deep and left of the Flyer station.

Bird # 1 is the dead Hen Pheasant station. This gun station is located deep left on the opposite side of the field past a couple trees. The gunners shoot and then throw the Hen Pheasant from Left to Right landing approximately 255 yards from the line. (LEFT)

Bird # 2 is a Hen Pheasant Flyer station. These gunners are located midfield on the opposite hillside. The gunners will throw and then shoot a Hen Pheasant from Left to Right, with the bird landing approximately 205 yards from the line. (FLYER)

This test will take approximately 4-5 minutes per dog to complete.
