| What is a Box Style Bird Launcher?Even with good birds, it is important to be able to control the location of your birds and the timing of their flush when you are working a young dog. A box style bird launcher allows you to create the setup that you need and it will keep the birds where you put them. You can also launch them the moment that you need to. This is very important in the working of a young flushing dog or pointer.
Box launchers allow you to control where the birds are placed and when they will flush. Even when birds aren't great flyers, they will still move on when you toss them 6 to 8 feet in the air.
Flushing birds with remote “catapult” type launchers is the closest thing to training on wild birds. Better yet, you can control the location of the birds and when they will flush with remote launchers. When steadying a pointing dog to wing and shot, using two or more launchers at the same location can help maintain the dog’s interest and intensity after the initial flush. An occasional second and third delayed flush will help the dog anticipate additional flushes on all points and, therefore, help maintain it's interest and intensity longer. Manual launchers can also be used for the delayed second and third flushes.
The steel box has an open design which permits good air flow so dogs have the advantage of plenty of scent to help them locate the bird.
A box style bird launcher is a metal box that has a cordura or mesh pocket that allows you to place the bird inside. The box has strong springs attached to the arms and is held in place by a locking arm. When you are ready for the birds to fly, you press the release mechanism and the springs throw the bird 6 to 8 feet in the air. This create a simulated flush and the bird then flies off to the closest cover.
Bird Launchers come in regular sizes that can be used with pigeons, quail, and chuckar. Many of the models also have larger versions for pheasants. The Pheasant sized units can launch the smaller birds also, but the regular sized boxes are too small to be used with pheasant hens or roosters. If you want to use both pheasants and smaller game birds, you can either purchase all pheasant sized boxes or you can mix and match. The remote systems allow you to use both sized boxes with the same transmitter.

If this is your first visit to Gun Dog Supply, welcome to our online Yahoo! Store.
-- Way back in 1997, we got the idea to sell on the WWW after shopping on eBay and
Amazon and buying through other online catalogs.
It's so much easier to offer more information and content with an online
catalogue, rather than a 72-page mail order brochure. Customers enjoy
reading our info and articles where we share our opinions on our top-rated
products.
From time to time we feature our top-selling products with promotional
pricing or free shipping. Most of the time, most regular products are sold
below manufacturers' suggested retail prices (MSRP). We sometimes offer
wholesale pricing to qualified dealers on certain items and some offers are
consumer only, no-dealer purchasing. Some people are more interested in
choosing the cheapest, clearance-priced items such as overstock through an
outlet dealer. Make sure your purchases are through an AUTHORIZED Internet
dealer, especially for electronic canine products for warranty support
issues.
Buyers save when you shop online. Why surf the Web for discount codes,
online promo codes, and coupons when you know we have every day low prices?
Your satisfaction with your purchases is important to us. We use the Yahoo! Store
Rating system and our consumer reports are very good. We offer
product recommendations and stand behind our recommended & reviewed products
with our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. Comparing prices is important, but
when you find the lowest, discounted item, you may find other things, too.
Savings may vary. Discounts and coupon prices subject to change without
notice.
