Retriever training. For example when you train on your own it's hard to do any long distances as your dummy only lands as far as you can throw it (which in my case is not very far and sometimes in a tree). So a dummy launcher is a very useful tool.

Certainly saved yourself a small fortune there, once you`ve tweaked for the longer distances (I assume it either went nowehere or disappeared into the ether and is now orbiting earth with all the other detritus up there Laughing ) it`ll be a great tool for you for very litle outlay, well done Very Happy

I was thinking the first trip out would not work,
so couldn't believe how far it went.

Alf was a little way away and as he is used to marking from my side he didn't mark the dummy very well, but he did get it.

this is exactly why this is useful to us as him marking from my side is no use to anyone.

The unit itself lets out a gunshot noise although it sounds very very different when you are a little way away from it and its all connected up in the unit.... so mk2 may have the duck noises like the pro ones to get his attention in the right place.

will put the 2nd launch up when i can work out how to rotate it,,
