I remember the dust up here about boycotting bumperboy, but I'm looking for honest opinions.
I'm currently training a single dog. I belong to a club, but it seems that I'm forever making phone calls and bouncing between training partners in order to get my pup exposed to enough marks. Because of that, his yard work is way ahead of his field work.
So, I've been considering putting off that Benelli or Beretta that I've been dreaming about, and getting remote launchers this year instead. I'm looking at etch-marc and bumperboy. I'm kind of leaning toward the bumperboy Derby Double Two Shooter. A friend keeps trying to push me toward the four shooter, but it seems like a guy with one or two dogs could get along well with the two shooter to me. For a bit more than the four shooter I could have two doubles to throw - well - doubles with, and later I can add a third for doing triples.
One of the things I like about the bumperboy is the advanced sound option, from what I hear it's pretty good, and when working alone I think you need to have stickmen up and the ability to help with sound and the ability to fire a second bumper.
Does the etch-mark have the same capability? Am I foolish for wanting to save some bucks and get the two shooter?
Thanks!
