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)
