Flyer Friday = Cold and Wet!
| A hard, blue Northern front came through Thursday night and brought rain and a LOT of wind for Flyer Friday. Since it has been mild over the past two weeks, this found the group a little ill prepared for such a tough day for training. That being said, we loaded up and headed out to run a setup that reminded us of the River Runs Through It series of the 2009 Master National. Our long bird was out about 200 yards through a rushing spillway from a large tank. All running water with lots of ups and downs along the way to throw the dog off the area. Two other control birds were placed tight up a hillside and we threw in a double blind to make sure we covered all training bases. Call it a "kitchen sink" setup! The big dogs ran a double up the hill, long single, and then the blinds that made them handle either near an old fall or passing under the arc of one of the marks. Plenty of meat in this one! Tim Buck ran his dog, Lori, and she smoked all of the test. The Stellar dogs all ran a strong set, and Mike Meek and Zoe even made it out to run with the big dogs. We had a great time, just wish we had all remembered gloves! Winter/Spring training is underway and remember, amateurs are welcome on Fridays. Just give me a call and let me know you want to come out! See you next week! -Jack- |
