The temperatures are around 60 degrees this morning with a wind at 9 mph and building. Our skies are cloudy.
The line sits atop a round knob that over looks an un-mowed grassy valley with areas of heavier grass. There is a stream that meanders through the bottom. At the far end and well beyond the gunners is a fence and road.
The first bird is the long retired gun station is two men who retired to a holding blind left of the stream at the base of the valley. A dead duck is thrown across the stream at 350 yards.
Second we have a three man duck flyer station on the right side of the valley slope is shooting a duck at 307 yards.
Our third short retired gun is a dead hen pheasant that stands atop the ridge and retires to the back side of it. The throw is a flat throw down the hill at 157 yards.
The last bird is a three man station that shoots a hen pheasant from the top of the valley, lofting the bird to the right so the bird lands on top of the knob at 90 yards.
The gun rotation is after 47, 72 and 107.
