I enjoy looking at test setups. I have written up one of the nicer complete MH tests I have run. My favorite being the 3rd series. I have tried to "paint" it best I can, obviously it doesn't do it justice. But the marks complimented each other beautifully. It was very inviting to run the shore on the go bird. With that less water thought in mind, on the next bird retrieved (1st bird out) they were liable to cheat the corner and run shore down to the AOF and then hunt all over since the wind wasn't giving it away, possibly getting back towards the blind if they didn't check down. After picking that up, they had to mildly angle entry into the water, swim past the idea of where they had once gotten to run around the shore, and think more water all the way out to the middle bird. Dogs that cheated got caught up in the drag back scent, and most had to be handled out of it.
There are probably stronger and more difficult HT tests out there, but for the way the marks influenced and built off each other, I felt it was a very solid and well put together tests.
