The mat is facing south with a wind out of the north at about 14 mph. As we are about to start this Sixth Series, sleet is beginning to fall.
We start slightly forward and right of the line from the marks. There will be a double dry shot from a set of two gunners sitting to the left of the line to the blind.
The line is through the arc of the middle retired gun from the Fifth Series and on down the field angling through a slot created by large round hay bales. The blind is 310 yards from the mat where they will find a rooster pheasant.
