9th Series

Test 9 is Land Double with Rooster Pheasants

We are in the Dam Field on Bob’s Hill for the 9th series of the National Derby Championship!

It is 65 degrees, overcast with occasional light rain and a 13 mph SW wind.

Test 9 is a land double with Rooster Pheasants. The mat faces north, overlooking a field of rolling hills that slope to the right.

Bird #1 is a dead Rooster Pheasant. It is thrown from Right to Left, 253 yards from the line. The line to this bird takes the dogs between two large rocks and down a steep hill where they are briefly out of sight. The bird is thrown tight to 2 trees. We will call this bird LB for Left Bird.

Bird #2 is a dead Rooster Pheasant. It is thrown across the road, from Right to Left, 167 yards from the line. We will call this bird RB for Right Bird.

This test takes approximately 3 minutes per dog.
