Standing on the mat, the handlers are facing NW looking down a hill, across a hay field with a winding waterway through the field. Winds are WSW hitting the handler in the left shoulder. The first bird thrown is a dead hen pheasant. This bird is thrown angle back left at 310 yards. These gunners retire. This bird is down the hill, through a strip of cane. They then cross a hay field and catch a channel of water on the way to the bird. This station is on the left side of the test.
The second bird is thrown from a station on the right side of the pond at 230 yards. These guns throw a hen pheasant to the left. They are located on the right side of the field, down the hill and across a hay field. The dog must then navigate a channel of water and climb the bank to retrieve the bird. These guns retire.
The third bird is a rooster pheasant flyer shot angle back to the right at 325 yards from the mat. The line to this bird takes the dog down a hill, through a strip of cane and out into a pond. He swims across the pond and climbs the far hill to his bird that lands in a hay field close to an area of dried corn.
The fourth bird thrown is a hen duck in the center of the field at 173 yards from the line. This bird is thrown to the left and the gunners stay out. The dogs must go down a hill, through a strip of cane and out to the bird located between the cane and a pond.
The test is taking approximately 12 minutes.
