Tenth Series – Land/Water Quad with 3 Flyers and 2 Retired

Welcome to the Tenth Series. We are high on a bluff overlooking a marvelous technical pond that is in front of Mary and Randy Spangler's house.

The first bird down is the "Long Right Retired," a hen mallard flyer shot to the left at 361 yards. The bird lands in a small bay on the very far shore of the pond and is sluiced. After the dog is sent, the guns retire behind a mulberry bush.

The second bird is the "Island Bird," a hen mallard thrown right angle back landing on a small island in the pond at 158 yards. After the dog is sent, the gunners retire behind a small tree.

The third bird is on the far left of the test at 164 yards. This stand out gun is just to the left and deep of the Island gunners and is shooting a hen mallard and we will refer to as the "Left Flyer." The throw is a hard angle back that lands in the left corner of the water with a sluice. These guns remain standing out.

The fourth and final bird is the "Right Flyer" which is a big swing to the right. The gunners stand up on the hillside and shoot a rooster pheasant to the left at 128 yards. These guns remain standing out.
