Short bird handle for Sunny...And Test Description

...He crossed the water left of the bird and was going to drive deep; he was then handled to the right and in back to the bird. 

This test is all hen mallards, with a flyer on the right shot to the right at 130 yards, and the two retired marks are both thrown to the left. The shorter of the two is out at 160 yards and the long bird is at a distance of 265 yards. There is an honor on this test.

Still more to come on description details...
