MAI Flight B – Series 1
SFMRG Area 4 – Rock Bridge
Land Triple, Flyer with an Honor
Test Name by the Judges: “Who Let the Dogs Out?”
Sunday, May 16th 2021
Flight B handlers arrived at their first test location in Area 4, Rock Bridge of the SFMRG. The temperature this morning was 50 degrees with an overcast sky. The handlers looked north from the line into the field. Members of the SFMRG grounds would say, “They are running from the back side of Rock Bridge.” The handlers are running from directly in front of the judges’ tent, with the honor to the left of the tent. The first bird presented is on the right side. A large pine tree and natural bush conceal the winger station. This bird is thrown to the left and behind a thicker patch of tall grass at 97 yards. The middle bird is thrown left angle back landing at 67 yards. This winger station is also concealed with a large pine tree and a constructed bush to look very similar to the right-hand bird station. The flyer station is the left-hand bird landing at approximately 111 yards from the line, just before heavier cover up a slight hill. There are 12 3-D silhouette goose decoys near the line.
