Our 9th Series is at the Wendland location on the Parrott's property (named for the previous owners).
The mat sits on a mound facing a long narrow pond with multiple fingers on the near side. The wind will be out of the south east 9 to 10 mph most of the day. This is a water triple with two retired.
Bird One is a dead duck on the right side of the test that is thrown left to right of the test. The gunners come out from a group of hay bales where they also retire. The throw is an angle back that lands in strips of cover at 359 yards from the mat. The line to this bird takes the dog across the road and in to the first part of the pond. They then exit the water and run parallel to the main body of water half way down the pond before reentering the water. They will swim to the end, exit into a field with the strips of cover then go out to their bird.
Bird Two is a dead duck located in the middle of the test. The duck is thrown left to right landing 342 yards from the mat. The gunners retire into a group of hay bales. The line to this bird crossed the road and into the first fingers of the pond. The dog then moves into the main body of water and swim half way down main channel and exit on the left bank. After that, they have an angled run across the stripped field to the bird.
Bird Three is a duck flyer shot to the left out of the test landing 250 yards from the line. This bird is on the left side of the test. From the mat the dog will cross the road and angle through a small channel of water, then they will cover a wide open hill of stripped cover to get the bird.
