Land Double
The 7th series is a Land Double featuring a Retired Hen Pheasant and a Rooster. We are at the "Dam Field" for this series, located up high on a ridge that is bordered on the right by a large dam and by a tree line on the left. The mat for this test is facing South. From our point of view, the field drops down a terraced steep hill, and at the base of the hill the terrain falls off to the left and then climbs up a steep terraced hill on the far side.
Bird # 1 is the Hen Pheasant. The gunners for this station are located at the top right end of the field, to the handlers Right, past the end of the large land dam. These guns will shoot, then throw the bird Left to Right, with the bird landing approximately 240 yards from the line. This gun station will then retire. The dog has many options to get to the area, but most will lead them away from this memory bird. (RIGHT)
Bird # 2 is a Rooster. The gunners are on the left hillside opposite the mat about 1/2 way up and on the handlers left. These gunners will shoot and then throw Right to Left and the bird will land approximately 180 yards from the line. (LEFT)
This test will take approximately 4-5 minutes per dog to complete.
