What size bumpers do you like to train with.

Walking fetch and pile work etc. 2X12" ?

More advanced work like blinds and marking drills etc 3"x12"?

I am going pick up a couple dozen bumpers and not sure what size to get.

I use only the 2" X 12". I don't have to keep the large ones and the small ones separated that way. Plus more bumpers take up less space. Plus, the dogs really don't care what size they are. :lol:

I'm just a relative new comer, training with my first real retriever.....but I ike the 2" dummies for most everything - they're cheaper and I can carry more. (I have a doz of the white Avery hexabumpers) - Many people like the Neuman & Bennett's, also. I do have a couple of 3" bumpers that I use when i need to throw farther or have mouth issues (ie cigarring) that I'm working on. For variety, I also use some Dokken DFT dummies. Given one choice, I'd say use the 2x12" kind.

Most work I used the 2" bumpers. For long marks over 200 yd I use 3" bumpers with streamers.
