Water Triple with 2 Retired
Unbehaun Property

The mat sits on the side of a beautiful technical pond facing Southeast. There is good cover around the pond, the grounds and the islands.

Bird # 1 (RR)  As you stand on the mat, Bird station #1 is in front of a tree at the far end of the pond shooting and then throwing a drake to the right landing about 230 yards behind a small mound and spit of water. The gunners retire after the dog is sent. The line to this bird will have the dog doing several water re-entries into the pond. This bird will be referred to as RR for Right Retired.

Bird # 2 (MR)  is a hen duck. This gun station is at a bush by a mound located just left of the far end of the pond. The gunners shoot and then throw the hen duck to the right. This bird lands fairly close to Bird #1 at 165 yards. The gunners retire after the dog is sent.  This bird will be referred to as MR for Middle Retired.

Bird # 3 (F)  is a drake flyer. The gun station is located on the handler's left, closer in, but not far from Gun station #2. The gunners tent is by a large willow tree, the gunners throw and then shoot a drake to the left, landing approximately 110 yards from the line. There is no water involved with this flyer. This bird will be referred to as F for Flyer.

This test is taking approximately 8-10 minutes per dog.
