Perfect for training, but would recommend the orange for visibility.

I am not a professional dog trainer but I train my dogs on an average 3 ? 4 days a week year round. I love to duck hunt and in the off season run UKC hunt test. I think I have used just about every bumper available and now buy the Avery Hex Bumper exclusively. It works well for all age dogs. I like its solid, sealed construction because you can go from land to water and not have to worry about it sinking. The bumpers weight, size and rope are great for getting not only distance but when needed, the height. The throw rope size and quality is also easy on your hand which is great when training in groups having multiple dogs. The hex bumper is also easy to clean. Lightly brushing with soap and water will clean these bumpers restoring the white needed for the dog to see it when working on long marks during low light conditions which, to protect your dog from the heat, is when you train during the summer months in Louisiana.

Right size and resists chewing damage.

Best pumper on the market. Flat sides provide better surface for training dogs to hold, flasher is great for marking land and water, floats well, perfect weight for hand tossing, very durable.

4 years old and still going strong. Much easier for the dawgs to mark in-flight.

The flasher concept is an excellent training tool and training aid. The dogs always see the bumpers because of the alternating colors.

Has held up very well to extensive use.

I really like these bumpers! They are heavy enough to carry a straight line when thrown in the strong Oklahoma wind, but still light enough that my 9 year old daughter can throw them a reasonable distance for training. I also like the black and white color because it gets the younger dog's attention better than the one color bumpers I was using. Would recommend these to a friend and would buy more for myself.

Outstanding product at a good price. I have had mine for nearly 2 years and use the same 1 every day. It has held up to the daily use and would highly recommend the bumper and Gun Dog Supply .

Love how it stops him from rolling the dummies across the ground

I have had a good experience with the Avery Hexabumpers. I have several brands of training bumpers and the Avery Hexabumpers have held up well. If I had any complaint at all, it would be the pliability of the material in cold weather. The bumpers do get very hard in cold weather. However, I believe the durability of the product out weighs the hardness in cold weather. Overall. very satisfied. Clent

Good bumpers

My yellow labs enjoy's her Hexa Bumper. It is very tough and a great training tool.

Great training aid.

all of my dogs like these and the younger finds them easy to pick up.

I like the versality in color. I don't have to worry about the sky light conditions as the dogs can see the bumpers on gray and sunny days.

My dogs absolutey love the bumper. The color is great for the river, current, waves, and different times of day with the available light. My labrador is a chewer and this does not have the valve that she loves to destroy. When they see me get the bumper they know the fun is about to begin! We are 5 minutes from the river and they know the routine.

Super tough yet easy on their mouth and my hands. Easily standing up to 2 Belgian Malinois in DockDiving and retrieving. Not showing a sign of wear after weeks of daily use. Would absolutely buy again!

I like the design, but don't like the hardness of it. I prefer a softer bumper.

Hexabumpers do a great job of encouraging the right hold for a dog. The design is great and the bumpers are durable. The flasher is perfect for most training situations since the dog can pick up either black or white no matter the background.

The hex bumper is the best most durable bumper on the market today.

This is now the only bumper I will buy. I used to buy non-hex by the dozen. Once I bought a hex, my dog would not go near the old ones. Great bumpers!

Too expensive and far to hard for the dog. You could easily break a tooth on a breaking bumper. I will not buy more of these.

Too damn hard. Not worth the extra money. Your standard EZ Rotational is alot better.

Durable and well made

Heavy and compact, easy to throw long distances. Heavy duty rubber makes for great durability. Works great on land and on the water.

Really good bumper, and I plan to buy more. Really flashes well when spinning in the air. Young dogs really seem to mark well.

I purchased a few different bumper brands about 1 year ago from Gun Dog Supply - the Avery bumper is both my and my dog's favourite! The plastic is nice and thick and doesn't "squish" under pressure, and has not been punctured or damaged even after many tug sessions between the dogs. And it's a good weight for throwing. It's proven to be extremely durable for our weimaraner, who is crazy for water retrieving!

These bumpers are some of the best I have tried. They are very durable, even on cold nights when the many bumpers will crack. They are heavier than the average bumper, which lets you throw them much farther, especially with the included throw rope. I use the flasher mostly, with the orange planted for blinds. Great bumper would recommend them to anyone.
