Review for BASIC Retriev-R-Trainer Dummy Launcher Kit

It works great. The only issue is if you use the largest load it is very hard on your wrist but other loads don't hurt.

Love this product, helped our Lab get over his gun shyness. He is a retrieving fool now. Thanks.

Review for BASIC Retriev-R-Trainer Dummy Launcher Kit

Works well and fires the dummy alot higher and farther than I could possibly throw it. The sound when it's fired is REALLY loud. My dog doesn't have any trouble standing next to me when I fire my shotgun. However, when I fire this he always tries to back away a few feet. We'll see if he gets used to it but it's alot louder than I expected from a .22 cal charge. Overall it serves it's purpose and works well for launching dummies.

Well, the first three times I used this launcher, the training was great. I used the yellow .22 blanks, and took proper care of the launcher and launcher dummies. However, the fourth time I took the launcher out for training, I launched 3 dummies. On the fourth shot, nothing happened. I checked the launcher and blanks thoroughly and could not find any problems.

They love it. We launch from our deck and they run BACK through the house to retrieve them from the pasture...works smoothly perfectly every time. No quibbles or issues.

This product has been excellent for getting my dog use to the gun shot along with retrieving the dummy. Great product I would recommend to anyone, even dog owners who dont use their dog for hunting.

Good tool. Never had a problem with it after several years and hundreds of rounds. Suggest getting a shoulder mount with it as the recoil will get to your hand and wrist.

Pros: Better than throwing dummies by hand all the time. Adds sound and distance.
Cons: Once dummy gets wet, launcher does not shoot it as far as when dry.
Warning: the launcher does have some kick to it even though it is only a 22 blank, don't take it for granted.

I don't recall seeing a warning about how strong these things are, but it had been about 13 years since I last used one of these. The first time I tried to test it out it came out of my hand and I lost the dummy. This is purely a user error.
Definitely loud, and very strong. Only use this where you have 100+ yards of clear area to train in.

I like the concept but it actually shoots too far and its very powerful in the hand. a lighter load or something that can be shot pain free multiple times would be great

This launcher performed flawlessly during the winter and on the water. It has helped me keep my dog conditioned during the off season for waterfowl and upland game birds.
I would recommend this product to anyone that has a dog that retrieves or is training to retrieve.

The launcher has been great, my dog loves it! He knows where it's kept in the truck and recognizes the case! Gun Dog Supply is a great company and we've been able to easily reorder blanks and dummies to continue to use every year. Have never had a problem with the actual launcher.

Great training aid, the dogs love it- would like a shoulder attachment to go with! A great aid in conditioning a gun shy dog.

Unit works fine but hard to eject spent blanks. Bumper blew apart in short order - replaced by manufacturer. Insulation keeps falling out, had to glue to case.

I really like this product. It can launch dummies super far. My pup is in love with retrieving, and it helps her perfect her tracking in the air. I recommend wearing a thick leather glove the impact hurt my hand without.

This is the only launcher I own (until I can afford one of the remote ones). It does not include the extractor tool, but it is not needed. When Opening it up (breaks down like a over/under shotgun) you can pull down on it and it will flex the spent blank out if repeated twice and held on the second time. If you got someone to train with you can't beat these style of launchers. Happy hunting, Aaron.

THE KIT DOES NOT COME WITH THE EXTRACTING TOOL. IN ADDITION, THE BLANKS CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.
