27 back in AM. Test was wide triple 2 retired, sorry no numbers.

At one of the trials referenced in the orginial post, the judges estimated the mark at maybe 350 to 400 yards. When a range finder was used, it measured 582 yards on unlevel ground. Distance can be...

Recently I have seen very long marks (500, 600 yards or longer) in all stakes at Field Trials, especially in AA competition. How do you feel about them, and what advantages and disadvantages do you...

Having been an approved judge for many years, I know some people will always believe there is politics and favoritism. And they are correct, or at least there is a PRECEPTION of it. I have been...

A reading of your original questions speaks to lining by a fast and slow dog.

Clearly a fast dog has more opportunity to get off line before stopping, and certainly judges should score this; just...

In an AA completion, what is your feeling about elimination from a stake with perfect land marks, but missing the key hole with an average land blind?

How do you feel about people judging on circuits they run?...

An old amateur friend that has earned more than 200 AA points with 2 different dogs once told me this sport is 50% judges, 25% dog, and 25% handler. After reading this post, I am more inclined to...

Thanks, trying to make my schedule and if I run Anderson, TX. I may stay and try Lone Star. I must have missed it:confused:

The card has Lone Star trail scheduled for Oct 8-10, 2010. Does anyone have information on it, it's not posted yet and getting close! THANKS....

Excellent example Phillip. Seems like the exact scenario of the Open water blind without picking up the second blind, which in this test was a laid out unseen poison bird. Maybe your example...

When a public assignment is accepted, there is accountability. Insofar as the forum to debate it, this is one of the reasons for RTF. Everyone is entitled to their opinion; you know the old says……...

No one is going after anyone here, and Ted you know who I am. I just don't want to make this personal. Its just like the rule we are debating, if your name is required to post, it should be part of...

Does this mean that the rule Jim Pickering quoted is wrong? Does this mean that contestants can or should expect test contrary to the standard? Does this mean that because the handlers new the...
