Series 8 Water Quad

Series 8 is a water quad. We arrived at the test site this morning being able to see our breath. The temperature is currently 39'F warming to 66'F. The wind is gently wisping out of the West to Northwest at times at 0-1 mph. The mat is facing due South. To the left of the mat is a ducky looking type pond complete with decoys, points, tules & cattails. All sorts of things in the way to influence to a dogs path to the marks.  The first bird to be thrown is up the middle of the test thru the right corner of the pond, it is measuring 309 yds from the mat. We will refer to this station as the Long Retired (LR). They're throwing a dead hen pheasant to the left landing in a strip of heavy  cover, this station retires to a brushy holding blind. The next mark to be thrown in this quad is situated to the right and inward from the LR, it is measuring at 200 yds from the mat. This station is shoot a Rooster flyer thrown to the right landing in cover across a two-track. We will refer to this station as the Rooster Flyer (RF) and it too retires into a concealed holding blind. The third bird to be thrown is a swing to the left situated on the far side of the pond, placed on a slight mound measuring a 180 yds. This station is throwing a dead hen duck to the right, landing in some watery cover along the edge of a channel in the pond. We will refer to this station as the short retired (SR) as it too retires into cover. The final bird to be thrown is a hen mallard flyer thrown hard angle back left. This station sits on top of a prominent mound deep and to the left of the SR, measuring 235 yds . This station remains visible during the test. A lot to remember with well placed birds. It is taking about 12- 13 mins a dog to complete.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!
