Stickmen Training Set-ups
                       
(Marking Concepts & Drills)

                       (depends on skill level of the dog, available help, equipment & distances)        
                      note: many of the winger set-ups can easily be done by one walking BB

                       
key:  S = solo, W = wingers, BB = real bird boy/gunner

                      note: solo means - dog is sitting at a remote line, handler/BB in the field shoots,
                                 throws a mark & releases dog, dog marks, retrieves and delivers to the
                                handler at the same station, handler casts dog back to the line and
                                walks/rides to the next station for every mark
                      note: ATV singles = BB riding to each stickman station (remote line)
