Series One – Land Double with one Retired and a Flyer

The line for this test is facing south with a light north wind. The temperature is about 24 degrees with a "feels like" of about 18 DEGREES! The mat sits atop a road and drops down into the field. Our field has two distinct looks with the left bird, a rooster, thrown to the right at 205 yards. The gunners are in a swale with the line running under high tension power lines overhead and marshy areas with tall cover below. The bird is thrown towards the trees with a flat throw across a ditch. The three gunners at this station retire when the dog leaves to pick up the flyer. The rooster flyer is shot to right at 120 yards and lands in a harvested corn field. This test takes about four minutes.
