Test Five is a quad with three retired and a rooster flyer. The test
is in a hay field dotted with almost 30 large snow covered bales. There
are strips of sage grass cover that has been mowed into the field. The
mat is at the north end of the field located on a hill side.
Bird #1 is the long
Right Retired
dead rooster station is against the far tree line at 315 yards from the
mat. This bird is thrown to the left, landing in the area around a bale
of hay.
Bird #2 is the
Middle Retired
station located at 130 yards in front of the mat. This well brushed set
of bales is where the gunners retire after throwing a hen pheasant
angled back slightly to the right.
Bird #3 is the
Left Retired
station located 185 yards from the line. The guns are also retired in
hay bales. This hen pheasant is thrown on a deep angle back to the right
landing in a strip of heavy cover.
Bird #4 is a rooster
Flyer at 235 yards to the left of the line. The gunners shoot this rooster to the left.
