Gunners Up Bird Launchers – Retriever Training Alone

Gunners Up Bird Launchers / Gunners Up Wingers – Make Training Easy Retriever Training Alone

After years of training alone or with expensive help, the designers of Gunners Up Bird Launchers has developed a reliable and economical way to train retrievers.

After years of personal use I agree that these wingers are an essential part of any training regimen and I am confident that the Gunners Up Remote Launcher will become an integral tool in your retriever training program and will help you and your retriever achieve all your competitive goals.

Gunners Up offer two versions of their remote bird launchers

Gunners Up Original Launcher and Gunners Up Son of a Gun Launcher

The Gunners Up Son of A Gun (SOG) is a smaller, more compact version of the Original Gunners Up Launcher, coming in at 49 inches tall, 24 inches wide and 2 inches thick when folded. It will fit comfortably in most SUVs, Pickup Beds, and Dog Box Breezeways. The SOG features stainless steel hardware, hinges, and pulleys to prevent corrosion and wear in any environment. The release mechanism features a Servo driven release, 209 primer shot, and safety latch to prevent launcher from firing prematurely.

The arc and throw mechanics of the Son Of A Gun is just like the Original Gunners Up Launcher. You can control both arc and distance by moving the front legs in or out. The throw is a little shorter than the original Gunners Up, but the SOG launches a bird higher and more accurately than a hand thrown bird without getting tired.

The compact size of these Gunners Up Wingers also affords the lone trainer; that does not have the space to transport the longer Gunners Up Original the ability to load several launchers in the back seat of even compact cars.

Gunners Up makes doing marks for the solo trainer physically possible by constructing their launchers out of high-grade lightweight aluminum.

Stowing Your Electronics / Remote Launcher Care and Cleaning

1. Important Notice: Release all tension on the tubes before unfolding or folding the launcher forks.

2. Always use Safe-Pins on forks! Failure to do so can result in serious injury.

3. After releasing the tension on the tubes, simply reverse the set-up procedure and you’re ready to go.

UV Rays will naturally breakdown the latex tubing. When not in use, limit the tubing’s exposure to the sun. Always check tubes for tears and nicks before use. If a tear or nick is detected, discontinue use and replace tube immediately.

Clean your launcher with soap and water—do not use chemical cleaners. Use only soft towels or pads—do not use harsh or abrasive chemicals, brushes or pads. Towel-dry your launcher or allow to air-dry. For optimal performance and longevity, ensure that your launcher is dry and clean when stowing.

Do not set base of launcher in water.
