Land Double and Land Blind
This test uses all pheasants.
The mat is placed at the top of a hill looking down at this test.
2 shots are fired at the long Right Retired, 1st shot is before the throw and the 2nd shot is at the top of the arc.
Bird # 1 (RR) is a Rooster pheasant, thrown to the left past some bales and lands to the right of a large tree at about 275 yards. The gunners retire when the dog is sent.
Bird # 2 (F) is a Rooster pheasant "Flyer" thrown to the left at 157 yards.
Bird # 3 (B) the Blind is far right of the double marks at 205 yards from the mat. The line is between a post and a clump of growth.
This test is taking approximately 5-7 minutes per dog to complete.
