The 5th Series Indented Land Triple Test Description

The view from the news tent is picturesque where we are situated high on a hilltop, overlooking the valley of the Randy and Mary Spangler property. The 5th Series is an Indented Land Triple with a long right-hand Retired Bird. The Judges are clever & have included two stand-out Flyer stations one of which is indented. This factor will add a ton of excitement for both the dog & the handler.

The 1st bird shot (distance is 310 yards) is a dead Rooster Pheasant thrown hard angle-back left into medium cover. The dead pheasant station is located on a hillside, then retires disappearing from view in a grove of Sumac trees. We will refer to this bird as the Right Retired (RR) in our descriptions.

The 2nd bird (LF) (distance is 240 yards)  is located on a hilltop wide-left of the test, this Rooster Pheasant is thrown long and strong to the right, landing down the hill about 40 yards away from the gun station. This flyer is a thing of beauty, as it has a huge arc and spirals through the air.  It is very entertaining to watch this bird shot.

The 3rd and final bird (distance 164 yards) to go down is the indented middle flyer. (MF) This bird is located in the valley, about equal distance to the two longer birds, and has 4 gunners strategically placed about 5 feet apart sitting in the neutral position in plain view. The bird is a Hen Pheasant flyer, shot hard-angled back right, over a distinct path that travels up the hill. This bird is quite visible and lands on the hillside.
