Blackdog, what kind of barriers are there between the flyer station and the long retired bird? What's the wind doing with the scent from the flyer? Is the light and the background making the long bird hard to see?
A 250 yard, tight to the flyer, retired bird sounds like a concept most all age dogs have been trained on fairly well. It seems to me, from the results you posted, something has to be working in the judges favor.

Ya'll are both correct! Sorry for initial post. Tight longest money bird shot 250 yds out as second bird, 6 or 7 yds off back of flyer and 150yds deeper and retired, increasing degree of difficult and luck proportionately. Single gun at longest station thrown straight back just left of flyer, and 2 white coats and large umbrulla at flyer station at 100 yds. Dogs just had difficulty seeing second bird thrown in air, and many returned to flyer. No doubt if this bird thrown first results different. Judges precieve test differently, thus field trials!!!
less than half field did it in some fashion and were called back, small Open.
Hope for better in Am tommorrow
Shooting order very important regardless of stake.
