The final day of the AKC Pointing Breed National Gun Championship began with a chilly temperature of 28 degrees. The skies were mostly clear and the breeze was out of the south at less than 5 degrees. The bright sun, which has been absent for the majority of the trial, quickly warmed the temperature into the low 60’s. The wind remained generally light.
