Gunners Up Son of a Gun Bird Launcher
When it comes to dog training, sometimes you have to grasp chances as they arise. That means it's not always possible (or viable) to put up long-range equipment for a fast training session. The Gunners Up Son of a Gun Bird Launcher responds to calls for a lighter, more compact version of the original Gunners Up launcher.
While the mechanics are the same high quality as the original launcher, the size is smaller, making transportation simpler. The SOG's folded dimensions are 49 inches tall, 24 inches wide, and 2 inches thick, with a weight of just 15.5 pounds, making it easy to travel in most capacious cars. Because of its reduced size, the launch length for ducks, dokkens, and bumpers is somewhat less than the original launcher, ranging between 15 and 25 yards. What the SOG loses in range, it compensates for in durability, portability, and dependability.
The SOG Gunners Up Bird Launcher's release mechanism is servo-driven, 209 priming shot, and has a unique safety catch that prevents the bird or dummy from being released prematurely. The Servo release mechanism works with both Dog-Tra and Tri-Tonics, making this and all other Gunners Up launchers very compatible. Furthermore, the SOG is built in the same manner as previous Gunners Up products, with corrosion-resistant gear for use in even the wettest situations.
