Avery® True Bird™ - the Offical Bird of the Super Retriever Series
An SRS field of competitors is routinely the largest in the retriever world. It's not uncommon for us to have upwards of 125 retrievers walk to the line in a first series. Because of the creative nature of the event we may have a tight white coat set up in the 1st series, a rice field shoot from a pit in the 2nd series, then jump over to long water blind for our 3rd series, and then finish up with a ground blind hunt with 8 dozen decoys strewn all over the course.

To be able to pull this off my crew and I have to plan well, and be efficient. We have to have reliable gear. With the ATB we know we have what we need. Sooner or later at SRS you are going to have to go long. No matter how muddy your previous series were, all you need to do is hit these birds with a shot of water and they are going to be bright. Unlike the birds we used in the past each handler can expect a good looking clean bird. That may not sound like much, but at 500 yds these retrievers need all the help they can get.

It is my responsibility to make certain that everyone that walks to the line has an identical opportunity to be successful as we can control. We will spare no expense to make sure that this happens. Avery built this bird based on our recommendations and it has allowed us to push the world's best retrievers to their max...and maybe a step further.
