We've made it to the 10th series of the National Derby Championship! Soon we will know the next NDC!
We have returned to Swede's field. The rain has cleared, it is sunny and 68 degrees. It is still quite breezy with a 17 mph SW wind.
The 10th Series test is a Water Double with a Flyer
The mat faces north, overlooking several pieces of water.
Bird #1 is a dead Hen Mallard. The gunners sit on a dike, throwing their bird from Left to Right at 151 yds. We will call this bird L for Left.
Bird #2 is a Drake Mallard Flyer. It is shot from Right to Left, 149 yds from the line. The line to this bird has the dog clip a small piece of water, angle over the first point and (depending on the flyer length) slide right past the second point. We’ll call this bird F for Flyer.
This test takes approximately 7 minutes per dog.
