Test 2 – A & B

A – "Snake in the Grass" is Land Triple with a Walk-Up, Flyer and Land Blind. When the handler leaves the holding blind, he or she and their dog rounds the tent towards the mat. The walk-up bird is thrown from in front and just right of the handler up a hill landing 33 yards from the line. The handler turns back to his right where the flyer gunners are in front of the mat shooting the flyer to the left. This bird lands 65 yards from the line. Duck calls pull the dog to the far right where the holding blind is behind a cedar tree. The massive throw comes from the cedar tree, crosses the gravel road into the test. This bird lands 92 yards from the line.

After the three ducks are picked up, the handler lines the dog up for the blind. The large throw of bird number three has most dogs running under its arc, across the road and onto the planted bird in tall cover.

B – "Walkabout" is a Land Triple with a Walk-Up, Flyer and a Land Blind. This second test begins as the handler reaches the line. The guns walk-out from the tree line on the handler's left and throw a dead bird to the right and then shoot. This bird lands approximately 40 yards from the line. Bird #2 is the long middle Flyer shot from right to left at 125 yards from the mat. This bird lands to the handler's right. Dead bird #3 is on the handler's right thrown to the left at 102 yards.

The Land Blind is positioned between bird #1 and the flyer bird #2. The blind is 20 yards deeper than the flyer and the line to the blind is under the arc of the walk-out bird. It is planted at the end of the treeline and has a tight keyhole end.
