MAI Flight A, Series 4
SFMRG Area 3 – Beaver Pond
Walk-up Land/Water Triple with Flyer and Diversion Bird
Test Name by the Judges: “Boogie, Did You Do This?”
Tuesday, May 18th 2021
Flight A, Fourth Series has moved to Area 3 – Beaver Pond of the SFMRG. The Beaver Pond area is always first to be reserved by members of the SFMRG. It’s a very challenging piece of property when training for hunting tests or field trials.
The judges selected to run from the east end of the pond “above the little dam.”
Handlers come out of the holding blind walking east. The judges signal for the right hand bird which is thrown to the right and lands on a small island. A winger is used to help with the accuracy. Ideally the bird is landing on the island, but when there is a little more wind, the bird has been landing in the water near the island. The left hand bird is thrown next into the edge of high grass cover landing at 82 yards. The flyer station is well concealed behind a mound and very large constructed bush. The flyer is shot last to the left landing approximately 135 yards from the line. As the dog returns from the second retrieve, a diversion bird is shot into the pond from the area of the walk-up line landing approximately 15 yards into the pond.
