Well Run 1 has turned into quite a surprise. What looked a fairly easy triple has turned out to be harder than we expected.
Bird 1 is a short mark against a tree background. The dogs are having a bit of trouble marking this while others have been ok. The right mark is clear.
Shoot blind with dog at heel. Reload shoot left Mark then shoot right mark and get it. Pick blind up next and short mark last. The line to blind is clear but the ground falls way from the handlers and the dogs are out of site quickly if they get off line. If the dogs pull left on the blind they can get in behind the right short bird and you can call them in onto it from out of site. The run is good and fair.

End of day wrap up.

Both runs seemed to get easier in the afternoon. The wind was a bit lighter but continued to swirl and as the sun got higher the marking conditions got better. All the competitors that have got out today that I have spoken to have blamed the handler or dog and not the run on going out.

We lost on Run 1

23 Geoff and Pip
24 Paul and Archie

That left 9 dog in group one. All those dogs got thru run 2 with a couple of dogs doing an excellent job on run 2.

Run 2 lost

37 Anthony and Cliffy
42 Marg and Kez
46 Leanne and Fizz

When group 2 moved to Run 1 they also lost

32 Alan and Jacky
39 Trevor and Shadow
44 Karl and Red

I think that leaves about 24 or 25 dogs for tomorrow.

Morning everyone. It's a nice bright sunny day with a light breeze.
Run 3 under Graeme Allen is under way. It is a triple Mark with the first leg a walk up. The terrain is a winding gully that end in a dam. See the birds walk up first then middle bird then bird three on the right. Pick up order is the order you shoot them. First two dogs are thru with a few handles.

Run 4 is a double blind and Mark. Leave dog in the hide proceed to firing point shoot two blinds reload call dog and shoot mark. Pick up left blind which is a bird, then the mark and the middle rabbit blind last. There is a decent size gulley running across the paddock in front of the handler. The mark lands in a second gully out the back.
I believe all of the first group got thru and we lost Dom Colisimone and Nugget as well as Jack Lynxh and Tsu. We also lost G Tawton and Eva and R Tawton and Denzel on Run 3.

We understand run 3 has had some thrower or no bird issues and gun problems so has taken a bit of time. I hear Russell Whitechurch is out with Que and Snow, Michael Mason is out as well. There might be a few more. We hare headed to run 5 with Graeme Allenand it sounds like about 15 dogs left after their end of run 4
