Fifth Series

The fifth series of this year's National was a land blind, run from the dam of the lake where the water blind was run. The line was slightly to the back side of the dam. This series started with a pop and throw of a poison bird, left of the line, thrown right to left. Then there was a dry pop right of the line from behind a john boat on a peninsula. The dog was then released for an approximately 325 yard blind which started by cutting the corner of the pond, then slightly uphill, through a valley and the uphill again to a green bush where the blind was planted. There were a couple of places near the line where a dog could get behind a mound or some taller cover and get lost.
