This Tenth Series is a Land Triple shot left, middle, and right. The left rooster is the longest bird at 223 yards and is thrown to the left. The middle hen pheasant is 201 yards and is thrown to the right. The right hand hen is the shorter mark at 130 yards. It's thrown to the left and into the center of the test. The wind is from the north, gusting to 20 mph. It's overcast and 53 degrees. Lighting is very good. The test faces south, so the wind is at the handler's back. The field is terraced and birds are strategically placed on the terraces. There are a couple of small "fingers" or channels of water upfront on the line in the middle and to the left. This will cause some interesting lines out to the birds.
