Drill, Blinds

AM: Oaks Area 1

SERIES A. Remote casting drill (Lumi only)

Lumi at 50 yards from SL, OD at 100 yards from SL, WDs on 45° angles. Lumi required a total of three Back casts to the OD, remained responsive on both WSs.

SERIES B. Double blind (Laddie only)

The first blind was to the left, a duck at 70 yards in open meadow. The second blind was to the right, a duck at 250 yards, thru a keyhole formed by two trees at 130 yards from the SL.

Laddie lined the first blind. On the second blind, he veered enough first left, then right, to justify handling to maintain a narrow corridor before the keyhole. But he seems to have grasped the keyhole concept. After the second WSC, he headed midway between the trees and from there lined the blind. He showed good responsiveness on both WSs and good accuracy on both angle back casts.

SERIES C. Double blind (Lumi only)

The first blind was to the right, a duck at 70 yards in open meadow. The second blind was to the left, a duck at 130 yards in open meadow.

Lumi required two WSCs to the 70-yard blind on the right, remaining responsive on both WSs and reasonably accurate on both casts. She lined the 130-yard blind on the left.
