The Tenth Series is a land water quad with two retired. The mat sits on a hill overlooking the left side of a large lake with two coves in front of us. (We were on the other side of this lake for the 7 - 8 - 9 Combo Series.) The order of the birds is the far right flyer first, a drake mallard, shot to the left up the hill away from the dog at 405 yards. The dog must swim across two coves of water and a wide peninsula to get the bird. These are stand-out guns. The next bird thrown, dead hen duck, we will refer to as the left retired. It is thrown to the left of the tree where the guns stand at 315 yards. The line to that bird is to the left end of the cove up over the peninsula, driving up the hill to the bird. The third bird, a hen pheasant, is shot to the right angle back up the hill at 225 yards and retires. The dog must cross water and go up the far shore to get the bird on the hillside. The fourth bird, is on the far left of the test. It is a dead hen pheasant, thrown to the left angle back from the line at 125 yards. These are stand-out guns. The dog runs the land to this bird.
This test takes approximately 15 minutes per dog.
