Hunt Test In VBurg

Postby Buckwabit » Mon Feb 19, 2007 9:56 am

Was it just me, or did some of the birds throwers need to go to a weight lifting class to build more muscles?

be glad you had someone, anyone who took time off of a weekend to do some tossing.

sometimes, you have hall of fame throwers, sometimes you don't.......either way, someone's trying to work for you and your dog.

As a participant of many hunt test and a judge at this one, The bird throwers were great, In to day I did not have a no-bird. Anyone willing to sit out in that cold and do what they did for hours on end deserves our utmost respect. If you don't think so, I will line you up to spend a half of one day manning a winger and planting a blind

Nash,

This is a poll Questionaire, not a Slam on the bird throwers. Your vote counts, just like everyone's does.....

Compaired to other hunts I have marshaled, these kids ranked the highest of any test. The Boy Scout troop at SFHRC is a close second.

If you want to see bad bird boys, get a group of kids that dont want to be there, complain all day, and half booty their job all day. Then you'll know what a bad bird boy is.

Yea, i had a couple of no birds, but the kids worked their buts off for us. Espically Matthew who planted the blind on saturdays land test in that mudd.

He must have missed the ROTC group. Anybody breathing willing to sit out and shoot wingers all day is alright by me. He!! some of them even looked like they were having fun.

I am guessing you were running finished at the Clark and Dye test? If so, I am thinking the short hand toss was largely by design. . . . and it worked . . . . :x :? :oops:

I was there for the set up and that is exactly what the judges wanted it to do.

You guys jump to conclusions so quick.........

I didn't have a problem with any of it. It was a question to see what the testers thought.

That's all. End of story
