Series 5 Land Quad

From the Head Marshal's book

This morning we are facing Southwest standing on top of a large mound overlooking this beautiful pasture that includes many factors.  The wind is lightly blowing with occasional gusts out of the North to Northeast. There is bit of a nip in the air as the sun starts to peak threw the clouds and the current temperature is 48 degrees warming to a high of 66 degrees & sunny skies.  This test is a tight toughie. A dogs stamina and memory power is truly tested here with three well placed retired birds. There is also a mixed bag of game that can always pose a challenge (the Apple vs Lima Beans Factor).  The Flyer Station was moved in about a hundred yards because the Judges felt that it was more effective to the test a little shorter as this station is the only one standing out.

The first bird to be shot is the Long Left Retried (LR) gun throwing a hen pheasant hard angle back right measuring 385 yrds. The next bird to be shot is the Right Retired (RR)gun throwing a hen mallard to the left and pinched to the long mark at 375yrds. The third bird to go down is the Short Right Retired gun (SR) throwing a dead hen pheasant to the right landing in front of a large brush pile that is situated just deep and left of a sizable grass mound measuring at 265 yrds. Then the dog must swing across the test to the far left to pick out the flyer station that is placed on a mound shooting a hen pheasant flyer to the left. The flyer lands at the base or further to left deep of the mound and was moved in closer at 180yrds. 12 to 13 mins a dog to complete the test!!!
