Dummy Launcher

Results in a more well rounded working dog in the field, on hunt tests, and in trials.

nd-held dummy launcher for solo retriever training. Load a .22 caliber blank, swing out the arm, pull the handle. The dog gets a gun report and a mark simultaneously. Patented dual firing ports cut recoil; built-in shell extractor removes spent blanks in one step. Cast aluminum frame, adjustable flight angle. Kit includes the launcher, one Feather-Weight dummy (white or orange), earplugs, and spare o-rings...

The most popular all-around Zinger Winger for solo retriever trainers. Lighter and more compact than the Field Trialer at 13.5 lbs., it throws a duck 60 feet and a bumper 105 feet with a high, honest arc that gives your dog time to mark the fall. Sure-Shot release fires a 209 primer the instant the mark launches — no delay, no guessing, the dog marks to the gun. Heavy-duty hinges, upgraded wire harness, Rolling Release pouch bolt for a smooth launch every time. Remote-ready for Dogtra or Tri-Tronics electronics. If you only own one Zinger Winger, this is the one most trainers reach for...

The biggest throw in the Zinger Winger lineup — 120 feet on a duck, 180 feet on a bumper, with an arc that makes your steadiest dog work hard to hold. This is the launcher you reach for when you're training for serious hunt test or field trial marks, or when your dog has outgrown everything else. Multi-Shot Sound release fires 209, .22, or .32 blanks — the .32 is comparable to a 12-gauge shot and is the go-to for field trial-style marks. Three anchor hook settings for adjustable height and distance. Heavy-duty rubber tubing and hinges built for high-volume use. At 18 lbs. and 79 inches folded, it's the largest unit on the page — bring a truck, bring a dog that's ready for it...

The most compact Zinger Winger in the lineup at 12 lbs. and 49 inches folded — fits along the back seat of most SUVs and cars where the larger models won't. Throws a duck 45 feet and a bumper 90 feet, making it ideal for young dogs building marking confidence at shorter distances, or trainers who need something they can carry into the field solo without breaking their back. Fires .22, .32, and 209 primer blanks. Remote-ready for Dogtra or Garmin Tri-Tronics electronics. The launcher most trainers recommend for getting started, and the one that travels easiest...

The original Zinger Winger — the model that launched the company and has been running hunt tests and field trials for decades. At 15 lbs. and 75-foot duck throw, it sits right between the Winger II and the Hunt Tester in terms of power and size: compact enough to carry and transport easily, powerful enough to produce serious marks. Multi-Shot Sound release fires 209, .22, and .32 blanks. Multiple height and distance settings. Rolling Release pouch bolt for a smooth, consistent launch. Remote-ready for Dogtra or Tri-Tronics. This is the launcher retriever club training groups run when they need consistent, repeatable marks for 30–45 dogs in a session...

Built for upland flush simulation, not retriever marks. The Uplander's 4-spring system launches from a compact 8" x 16" x 16" base — low to the ground, designed to simulate a bird flushing out of cover rather than arcing high through the air. Trigger it remotely as your dog works into range and you have the most realistic sit-to-flush drill available outside of a live bird. At 8 lbs. it's the lightest unit on the page. Throws a bumper 60 feet, a duck 30 feet. 209 primer blank. Remote-ready for Dogtra or Tri-Tronics. Currently out of stock — check back or contact us...

A remote bird launcher sized for quail and barn pigeons. The QL vented design lets air and scent flow through the launcher body while the bird is loaded, making it easier for your dog to wind the bird before it flushes — critical for developing honest points. Patented adjustable spring tension lets you dial back the throw height for young or shy dogs and increase it as training progresses. Quiet-Release spring mechanism won't startle a dog that's not ready for the flush. Dimensions: 8.6" × 4.5" × 4.3". This is the launcher body only — requires the Dogtra RR Deluxe remote release electronics, sold separately. Up to 8 launchers can be run from a single transmitter with additional receivers...

Same design and feature set as the Dogtra Quail Launcher, built larger to properly accommodate pheasants, ducks, and grouse. Vented body for scent distribution, patented adjustable spring tension for controlled throw height, Quiet-Release for shy dogs. If you've been cramming large birds into a quail launcher, this is the right tool — one SDP customer noted it works "flawlessly" with hen pheasants where the quail launcher was too tight. Requires the Dogtra RR Deluxe remote release electronics, sold separately. Expandable to 8 launchers from one transmitter with additional receivers...

A complete remote bird launcher system for quail and pigeon-sized birds — launcher, transmitter, and receiver all included. The patented Easy-Load trap door lets you load and unload birds safely after the launcher is locked down, eliminating the bird-loss risk of conventional designs. Quiet-Release springs minimize the sound of the flush for steady-to-flush work. Large scent holes maximize scent dispersion so your dog can wind the bird while it's in the box. 700-yard remote range. One transmitter can control up to 16 launchers — add BL505 add-on units for multi-launcher field setups without buying additional remotes. 9V batteries required, not included...

Same complete system as the BL509 — launcher, transmitter, and receiver included — built larger for pheasant and duck-sized birds. Easy-Load trap door for safe loading after locking down, Quiet-Release springs, large scent holes, beeper on the receiver for field location at up to 400 yards. One transmitter controls up to 16 launchers — add BL705 add-on units to expand without additional remotes. If you're running a pointing breed on pheasants or introducing a retriever to ducks, this is the purpose-built system for it. 9V batteries required, not included...

Garmin's upgrade to the popular Pro Control platform — the transmitter that lets you run your Zinger Winger or other compatible launcher from the same remote you're already holding. The PRO Control 2 transmitter controls up to 18 receivers (with advanced functions capable of addressing 36), is backwards compatible with existing Pro Control G3 receivers, and adds the ability to control up to 3 dogs wearing Garmin Delta training collars simultaneously. One remote for launchers and collars — no juggling two handhelds at the line. 700-yard range. Compatible with Zinger Winger, Dogtra, and most other remote-ready launchers. Includes transmitter and one receiver...
