The North Missouri Field Trial Association hosted an NBHA trial at Martinstown, Missouri, the weekend of April 6-7. The grounds are perfect to allow a dog to open up, but needs to be biddable and hunt. A special thanks goes to Kevin and Heather Western for allowing the club the opportunity to run this trial on these grounds. The weather was nice but extremely windy, and the athletes had to bring their best to finish.

Tim Penn and Kevin Western were co-chairs of this trial. Special thanks to Gary Cowell for helping drive the dog wagon. The judicial team consisted of Scott Beeler, Jack Glover, Tim Penn, and Kevin Western. A big thanks for their dedication and attention to the job at hand. Thanks to our NBHA sponsors, Purina Pro Plan and Gun Dog Supply, for their support. Other NBHA sponsors who support the NBHA throughout the year are Garmin, Mule Brand Clothes, OnX Hunts, and Gun Dog Central.
Thanks to all who participated and made this a great event.
