This is a combo series. It is a double with two blinds (and
two mats!) The handler has been given the instructions: The right long dead hen
duck will be thrown first to the left at 290 yards. Then the short guns to the
left at 150 yards shoot a rooster pheasant to the left, then they retire when
the dog leaves for land blind. The handler then calls the dog off this exciting
bird to run a land blind with a hen mallard at 250 yards. The land blind is off
the back of the first bird thrown down at the water’s edge. Then it is the
handler’s choice to pick up either of the marks that just fell. Then he moves
to the mat at the far right to pick up the water blind, a water blind at 365
yards where the dog will find a drake mallard. And then he picks up the
remaining bird.
The line faces southeast looking over the same area that we
used in the Sixth Series.
