Kevään viimeisiä koestartteja ja kilpailuja käytiin pohjoisen Norjan Altassa. Historiallista tulosta tekivät lauantain 6.4.2017 aikana Kari Halonen ja PVIS Freya
Kokeesta saatu kritiikkikin on vailla vertaa:
Freya starts hunting with gread speed, elegant style, easy live action. Covering terrain very well in cooperation with her handler. Point. When the handler arrives, Freya flushes grouse with high precision. But is too unsteady in the shot. At the end of the day new point where Freya flushes precisely grouse and is acceptable calm when shot over. Freya has run very well today and deserves a 1pr UK. Total running time 70 min, numerical grades:5-5-6-4-4-4 and 2 points on grouse.
Onnea Kari, Kaisu & Freya
