The mat for the 9th Series Water Triple sits on the south side of a
dirt (mud) road facing northeast. Across the road stretching left to
right is a pond with an irregular shore line. On the far right side of
the pond is a tree line that extends from the road and angles on the far
side of the pond to the left.
Bird one is a long
retired hen pheasant thrown to the left at 280 yards from the mat. The
retired station comes out from the tip of the tree line and throws the
bird out angling it back into a corn field.
Bird two is
a hen pheasant thrown to the left down the tree line. This retired
station is located half way down the tree line with the bird landing in
the grass against the trees. This hen pheasants lands 220 yards from the
mat.
Bird three is a duck shot left and sluiced. This
gun station is located to the handlers right, down and across the road
at 100 yards. Their chairs sit on the shore at the base of a point
shooting left into the pond with a sluice. After the dog has completed
his marks, there is an honor mat to the left of the running mat. This
test is taking 10 minutes per dog.
