Series 6 Test Description: (Flight B)
MAI Flight B Series 6
SFMRG Area 2 – Tech Pond
Water Triple with a Flyer, Diversion Shot, a Land and a Water Blind
Test Name by the Judges: “Every Dog Has Its Day”

​
This final Sixth Series, of Flight B, of the 2021 MAI, being held at the Steve Ferguson Memorial Retriever Grounds is located on the west side of Area 2 – Tech Pond. This test includes two dead bird marks, an out-of-order flyer, a diversion shot and two blinds: one water and one land. This morning the wind is out of the northeast at 7 mph. This is more wind than there has been all week and is definitely not in the direction the judges would have preferred for the test. The right hand mark is being thrown left from a gun station 75 yards across the water. This “bridge bird” (a bird thrown from one piece of land across a body of water to another piece of land) is being thrown flat and lands in the back left pocket of a small point.  The flyer shot, second, to the handler’s left, lands at approximately 52 yards. The gun station for the flyer is located to the right of the line to the land blind. It is also deep and to the right of the fall of the short middle bird.  The line to the flyer cuts the corner of the channel, to the left of the land blind and short middle bird.  The gun station for the go-bird is located on the same peninsula that the handler and dog are running from. This bird is thrown left landing across the channel at 39 yards. 

After all three marks are picked up, the judges have instructed the handlers to run the water blind first and then conclude this final series by picking up the land blind. The land blind is located 82 yards from the line and the water blind is on the edge of the dam at 67 yards. When the dog is swimming back from the water blind, a diversion shot comes from the gun station throwing the go-bird.
