The mat faces south and sits atop a mound. The wind is negligible but a light north northeast.
The test should take 6 minutes to complete, though the test dogs took a bit longer.
As you look out from the line, beginning from the left you will see a field dotted with hay bales and the pond lies beyond them.
The left hand three gunners are 275 yards out and at the base of the trees. They will fire twice and throw a rooster pheasant to the left. It will land in or near tall cover. They will retire into the trees when the dog is sent for the flyer.
The middle gun is two people that are 260 yards out and will throw a hen pheasant after two shots are fired. They will also retire.
The Flyer station on the right sits at the base of the power line towers The hen duck is shot left into thick cover.
The order of guns is left to right. The two controlled birds will retire when the dog leaves to pick up the flyer.
