Series 2 Test Description: (Flight A)
MAI Flight A, Series 2
SFMRG Area 1 – North Field

Land Walk-up Triple, with an Out-of-order Flyer and a Land Blind
Test Name by the Judges: “Raiders of the Lost Mark”
Sunday, May 16th - Monday, May 17th 2021 


From the holding blind, the handler and dog approach the hunting area walking to the north. To their left, a walk-up bird is thrown to the right.  The gun station is hidden behind a constructed bush that is behind a large cover patch of lespedeza. It lands 33 yards from the line in cut grass behind a separate and smaller cover patch of lespedeza. The second bird is an out-of-order flyer on the right side of the field. It lands at 82 yards slightly downhill and just short of heavy cover and a cove of water. A very large constructed bush also conceals the flyer station. The middle bird is thrown to the left landing at 133 yards. Two broken down staggered hay bales frame this go-bird nicely. As the dog is returning from retrieving its last bird, the judges ask a blind planter to plant the blind. The line to the blind is through the large patch of lespedeza, which is under the arc and tight to the gun station of the walk-up bird. The blind is being placed to the right of a broken down hay bale. The distance from the running line to the blind is 67 yards.​

David Murphy and "Radley." Radley received 2 no birds requiring David to take him back 3 dogs and then 6 more dogs before watching all 3 birds land. Radley, a MNR with 35 Master passes handled the no birds quite well.
