Review for Lucky Launcher II Dummy Launcher Set
February 10, 2016
I have a Lab that is a little gun shy. What a great tool to overcome this problem. It is not as loud as a gun but does fill the place. We went from hiding to retrieving. Marley is coming along very nicely.

Once my dog got used to the noise she loves it. Start jumping the minute I bring it out.

My dog loves it, but hard on my thigh. Black and blue after shooting it 7 times. I have padding on it, but guess I will need more.

This was my first launcher, and it works great. It had everything I needed to get started, and it was for a reasonable price. No issues yet. Easy to use. Wear ear protection.

Great training tool for the single handler.... Impressive launch distances with the medium loads....After reading some of the comments by previous purchasers I was somewhat concerned about the durability of the dummies after extended use. I can report that I have experienced no such problems... More than satisfied, great product, great service as always. Steve M.

Works great. Medium loads are plenty. They aren't kidding about the need for ear protection. Helps to launch from thigh to get away from ear.

Excellent launcher, very good range. Might need to try the low power blanks if you don't have a wide open space to train your dog.

Having only been out with it once, I am impressed with the performance of the green loads. The plain dummy and the dummy with streamers shot at least 200 ft.The report is very similar to a shotgun. Hearing and eye protection are a necessity. Recoil was mild with the stock on my thigh. I believe that this launcher will help prepare a dog for the sound and action in the duck blind, and give it an excellent workout.

This launcher is awesome. My 5 month old Lab is moving ahead quickly thanks to the Lucky Launcher. If I had it to do over again, I would have bought this launcher first.

As real as it gets for training long retrieves. My dog loves it and is really attentive waiting for the shot and keeps looking forward to mark the retrieve. After 3 uses of 10 shoots each I made sure to clean with gun cleaner and lubricate. Especially the spring can gunk up and jam easy to it won't shoot or fire off around when pushing the trigger.

The blank does not eject itself, so I have to carry a little putty knife with me to remove the shell after firing. This is not a cleaning issue because I clean the unit after each use.

This is the cat's meow. It gives me a free hand if needed to hold the dog and the other hand can work the launcher. I would only say, for the price it should've come with the cleaning kit or another bumper (orange or oval plastic bumper). Even so, it is a GREAT product. My neighbor is thinking of dumping his hand launcher and getting one of these.

Only issue I had was not having a tail on the white bumper. This resulted in me losing the white bumper in the snow. Not good. Now I have to buy another bumper to use with the lucky launcher.

The launcher is much louder than a .22 caliber rifle. Use hearing protection. With yellow loads it launches the canvas dummies 75 yards easily. The smaller plastic dummies go much further and are lightweight and hard to keep within 75 yards. Perhaps some green loads would help with younger dogs. I can't imagine using the red loads. The extension handle and passed but plate are great. This is a great tool to extend retrieves and dog handling.

Just what I expected: Works great, and you certainly need the added stock. Kick is equated with a 10 ga. about 1/2 inch off your shoulder... But she launches dummies 60-75 yds with the light Green charges. Would buy again w/o reservation... especially after using the older, hand-held model with yellow charges.

Anyone who has a bird dog needs this launcher. It serves as a great simulation for an actual hunt as well as an excellent workout for the pup. Having your lab execute 100yd water retrieves will whip them into shape in no time! Paired with the loud pop of the .22 blank and some added dove or quail scent to the dummy, I don't see how you could get any closer to the real deal.

Item is great for training my young pup on long retrieves. I am unable to throw a dummy as far as I used to, and this has greatly helped.

The Lucky Launcher II really works as advertised. Keeping the o-ring and shaft covered with a very light coat of grease (Rig) helps to give a strong launch with green and yellow power loads. Greens give me 40yds and yellow at least 50. The report is sharp and an effective traing aid.

Great product, especially for the waterfowling dog. You can work on steadiness to shot, marking and long distance retrieves with one person (and one hand). One warning, you might want to make sure you have some tool (knife, needlenose, etc.) as the spent casings stick sometimes and are a little difficult to get out. A small inconvenience at times, but pales in comparison to all the great things about this product.

When steadying young dogs, or tune ups on older dogs who might be getting a little sloppy, the ability to fire the launcher with one hand while having the other free for any necessary corrections has resulted in rock steady performance from my dogs. It also allows my father, who has had a stroke, to assist me in training. He can be 2-5 hundred yards away, and we do long marks. He would be unable to assist me if it were not for the ability to fire the launcher one handed.

This is doggie "crack". My dogs just love the launcher. I think that the Lucky Launcher II is better than the original. I've owned 2 of those. One was wore out, and one is still in use. I gave it to my brother.

Choc Lab pup, Bourree, was a little gun shy around the report of the 12ga last season; working with the the .22 blank post-season eased his fear.... 12ga noise no prob now. Boy, he loves to work!!

My dog loves it. When I get it out to work with him he goes nuts as soon as he sees it. The one hand operation is nice as I still need to steady him on the stay with my free hand.

It launched great! Being shoulder fired makes it more realistic working with the dog from a blind. The only problem is I have to carry a leatherman with me as the expended blanks stick in the launcher after being fired. They are too dificult to remove by hand.
