For those of you that predominately use wingers, if your not throwing real birds what do you throw? Avery Birds,Dokkens,large Bumpers,small Bumpers,streamers or no streamers?
I don't really use my wingers for anything other than birds, but I have used bumpers a couple of times when I first got them to see how they worked. The dogs didn't seem to have a problem but the thin bumpers REALLY go out of a winger and you might want to use streamers for increased visibility.
It is much easier to use bumper boys if I am training with bumpers since I don’t have to reload each time.
Large bumpers. My dokkens are dry rotting, never use them anymore now that I have real birds. But I did use them to boost the dogs because they got as excited with them as real birds.
