Series 9 Land Quad With A Honor

We journey about a mile down the private road of Clear Creek Sports Club to a field near where series 5 was held. The mat is facing Southwest with the wind light at 5 mph coming from the North switching to Northwest at times. We are over-looking a field with a lot of great terrain to navigate and many paths to get lost on. The test begins with a long mark up the middle of the test, measuring at 320 yds.. This is throwing a dead hen pheasant to the right and retires behind an invisible holding blind. We will refer to this station as the Long Retired (LR). The next mark to be thrown in this quad is situated to the far left of the test and shorter than the first at 165 yds from the mat. The station is strategically positioned deep of a path throwing a dead hen pheasant to the right landing in the "Y" were two paths join. We will refer to this mark as the Short Retired Left (SRL), as it too retires behind a bushy holding blind. The third mark is a swing to the far right of the test. It is the shortest mark in this quad measuring at 120 yds. The third mark is situated at the base of a dam in heavy cover to conceal the holding blind as this mark also retires. The third mark is throwing a dead hen pheasant up the dam landing on the backside in heavy cover. The final mark of the test is just to the left of the first mark shot measuring at 182 yds, This is a rooster flyer thrown to the right landing in medium to heavy cover, We will refer to this mark as the Rooster Flyer (RF), it is the only station to remain visible after all the marks have been thrown. Once the dog completes the marks they must Honor the next working dog. This test is averaging 7 mins 30 secs to complete. A meaty test sure to challenge the best of dogs and handlers.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!




1st Bird: Middle Right Long Retired (LR)
2nd Bird: Short Retired Left (SRL)
3rd Bird: Short Retired Right (SRR)
4th Bird: Middle Rooster Flyer (RF)
