9th Series Test Description
The 9th Series is Sponsored by Mark and Suzanne Medford
Land and Water Double
The 9th Series test will be a Land and Water Double here at the "Middle Lakes" Field. 14 dog/handler teams were called back to start this series.
This field has a gravel road that runs the length of the test on the right side and a field of tall heavy cover on the left forming a narrow cooridor. The mat for this test is facing Northwest on the side of a hill. At the base of this hill there is a large pond that is on-line for both birds.
Bird # 1 is the Long Bird located at 380 yards from the line, slightly to the handlers right. This gun station is throwing a Drake from Right to Left. The guns are located in front of a large bush and they are throwing high across an opening between the bush and the field. The bird lands at the edge of the field near the tall cover. There is a small hidden piece of water the dogs can hit after they get atop the steep hill near the fall area. (LONG RIGHT)
Bird # 2 is a Hen Duck station backed up to the heavy cover on the left side of the field. These gunners shoot and then throw Left to Right with their Hen Duck landing behind a large bush at approximately 165 yards from the mat. (SHORT LEFT)
This test will take approximately 5 minutes per dog to complete.
