The Tenth Series is a Land Triple with two rooster flyers and a dead duck. Weather is clear and 70 degrees, southeast wind gusting to 10-20 mph, with occasional gusts from the north, indicating that changing winds could be a factor in this test.

The Tenth Series Land Triple is run in the horse pasture near the site of the Fourth Series Water Blind. The test is run toward the north from a large mound. The field has fairly flat terrain with variable cover but a channel and an inlet to the pond at the rear of the line also add to the complexity of the test.

The birds are shot in the order of midde, left, right.

The first bird is the middle bird and is a rooster flyer shot to the right at 250 yards. The line is thru a small channel that the dog must parallel and then enter and exit at an angle. The bird is falls near the edge of some woods near the end of the field.

The second bird is the right-hand dead duck thrown to the right into heavy cover eighty yards from the line. This bird is located near the running line of the Fourth Series water blind which had a 150 yard entry to the water.

The left-hand bird is a rooster flyer shot to the right and is the last bird down at 165 yards. The line to this bird crosses a channel inlet to the pond that is to the rear of the line.

The lines to the middle and right-hand birds cross the line of the Fourth Series Water Blind.

Test dog was called to the line at 10:33 A.M. Dog No. 42 will start the Tenth Series.
