9th Series Test Description

9th Series – Water Double

The 9th Series is located at the Middle Lakes Field again. The mat moved from test 8 to test 9 to now be placed up on the top of the hill where the flyer previously landed in test 8. It is facing Northeast. This is a terraced hillside rising up from the 2nd pond. 

Bird # 1 has gunners stationed just beside a cedar tree close to the edge of the pond. The gunners will shoot and then throw the bird from left to right landing angled back, close to the water in some light cover. This bird will land approximately 150 yards from the mat. (We will refer to this mark as R for Right)

Bird # 2 is a Dead Drake. These gunners are located at the top of the hill across the pond, and will throw the drake left to right angled atop a terrace on a wide open hillside. The bird will land approximately 200 yards from the mat. (We will refer to this mark as L for Left)

This test is taking approximately 5-7 minutes per dog to complete.

**NOTE** After running the test dogs it was decided that the Bird #1 gun that goes off first will be moved to be semi-retired. The gunners will sit down in the shade after they throw. They will be located behind a small group of trees, but can be seen through the trees from the mat.
