Test Seven is a Land Double with a Hen Pheasant Flyer. The field is terraced and shaped like a bowl. The line is on the east ridge. As the dog leaves the mat they will top a terrace. There are three terraces to the base and then a mound and more terraces. The line takes the dog over the left side of the mound. Just behind the mound is a heavy strip of sorghum that pushes the dog farther right. Everything in the field pushes the dog right and away from the bird. Additionally, the flyer has the same terrace going down and lots of angles going up to the bean field.
Bird #1 is directly in front of the line. These guns shoot and throw a hen pheasant, angled back to the left landing, 240 yards away at the base of a line of large evergreen trees.
Bird #2 is a hen pheasant flyer shot at an angle back to the right landing in a mashed down bean field (mashed by four-wheelers). This gun station is 205 yards from the line.
After the test dogs ran, the judges
moved the flyer station from closer to the bean field to a friendlier
position at the base of a pine tree.
