FLIGHT B: Wed April 26 - Day 4 - Test 5 - Land/Water Triple with a Diversion Shot

Flight B's Fifth Series is a land/water triple with diversion shot. The first bird thrown was on the right slight angle back to the left and landing 65 yards from the line into a small dip of low cover. The  middle bird was second, thrown angle back to the right landing almost at the crest of a low knoll across the water 98 yards from the line. The final go bird was thrown right also across the pond landing in low cover with thin broom straw directly in front of a pine tree 86 yards from the line. Upon the return from the first retrieve is the dry diversion shot.

The line to the go bird is a slight angle entry into the water for a 60 yard swim then the dog angles out across the road to retrieve the bird. The line to the land bird parallels the shore in very low cover. The water to the left and a small grouping of pines to the right keeps the dogs on track for a quick retrieve. The line to the middle bird is square water entry across the pond with a slight angle out of the pond across the road up a small knoll to retrieve the bird.
