8th Series

The 8th Series Test is a Water Quad with One Flyer and Three Retired

The mat faces NE and is on top of a mound. The wind is SSE at about 4 mph and the clouds have cleared and it is warming up. This test will take roughly 13 minutes per dog.

In front of the mound are a series of potholes running North. The field is filled with water structures criss-crossing it.

The first mark is a retired hen pheasant (Long Retired) thrown angle back right at 248 yards.

The second bird is a short retired (Short Retired) hen pheasant at 130 yards, thrown to the right  and lands on an island with the gunners retiring behind a tree on shore.

The third bird is a retired hen duck thrown to the left at 141 yards. The line will be through a  different pothole across a field road and through another water structure to the bird.

The fourth station is a flyer duck (Flyer) shot approximately 200 yards to the left. The dog will cross the pothole at the back of the field road, area of cover, another water structure and out into the field to retrieve the bird.
