The field for today's test is under a high power lines and is framed
on the right by trees and to the left is a corn stubble field. The
northwest portion of the field has strips of mowed cover and bales to
are located to the front of the field.
The mat sits on a
high edge of the field facing northwest with the winds east southeast
at 5 mph shifting southeast. The sun is shining and it will be a
cloudless day.
The first bird is a long retired at 370
yards thrown to the right into the corner of the timber break. This bird
is a rooster pheasant.
The second bird, a short retired, is 195 yards from the
mat. This hen pheasant is thrown to the left across a gap along the trees. The
line for this bird goes through the mowed strip of heavy cover, past the
bales and up to the break in the timber to the bird.
The third bird the middle retired. The hen duck lays at 210 yards thrown to the right into the base of the tree line.
The
fourth and final bird is a rooster flyer. This rooster is at 155 yards shot to the left.
The line to this flyer will be through the mowed strips of heavy cover
and navigate through multiple hay bales to enter the corn field.
(Please note: The Diagram and Sketch both show the flyer shot to the right … The Judges decided to change the direction to be shot to the left because it was being thrown into the wind and created a couple of no birds as a result.)
