6th Series – Land Blind

Test 6 – Land Blind

The bright sunny day we were having has given way to a mostly cloudy day. The temps feel like they have dropped back into the upper 30's as the sun slipped behind the clouds. The field is the same location as the 5th Series, winds have shifted to be coming from the West.

The line has moved about 30 feet SW of the previous line for the 5th. Once sent, the dog will angle down the hill, across the road and a mowed path. The line will catch the corners of these clumps, hit the gap of two artificial trees, climb the hill, getting above the terrace going very near the mature tree near the brushed holding blind of the Left Retired station from the 5th Series. Continuing on towards a small grassy covered mound, where they will recover a rooster pheasant at about 307 yards away.

This test takes approximately 2-3 minutes per dog to complete.  

6th Series Land Blind – 307 yards
