Great system.

I've owned birddogs for a long time and I lost a dog a couple of years ago. I should have purchased a tracking collar much sooner. I asked a friend who has been working and training birddogs for a long time and he recommended that I look at the Garmin ASTRO 430 and also recommended that I consider Gun Dog Supply. I did both and am glad I did. I'm still learning all of the features but it has worked great right out of the box.

Great collar with super fast tracking capabilities. You MUST have rechargeable batteries for the handheld controller and ALWAYS carry and extra set when doing long all day hunts. It will burn through them. Small price to pay for the most accurate/fastest tracking collar manufactured. Highly recommend

Great GPS Tracker
April 2, 2022
Both the handheld and the tracking collar work great and are easy to use. Easily keep track of my dog. I would recommend considering getting the rechargeable batteries for it. Otherwise you might be going through a lot of AA batteries if you're using it on daily basis. If you use only occasionally that might not be an issue.

I've been trialing bird dogs for over 30 years and I finally bought the much needed GPS. It's just to dangerous out there now and with my big runners I like the security of knowing where they are. I've used it a few times now and it's easy to use.

I buy all of pointing dog equipment from Gun Dog supply. They own and understand pointing dogs, have a good line of products, get the shipments out quickly and completely guarantee their products no questions asked. I particularly like the YouTube videos Steve puts out regarding features of products and how to set them up properly. It makes everything much easier rather than having to search through all the manuals. Overall, one of the best companies I deal with on any product line.

Great for an Aging Dog

My 12 year old English Springer Spaniel, losing his hearing, has lately not been able to hear my calls or whistles. When we became separated this summer while trout fishing, it became apparent that measures were necessary, especially with the upcoming pa'tridge season. I called Gun Dog Supply, spoke with Steve, explained the situation, and he recommended this product. It has surpassed my expectations, and I am well pleased.

Just what I was looking for
September 16, 2022
There are lots of options when looking for an electronic sporting dog collar. I always start an inquiry like this one at Gun Dog Supply. Excellent review of the capabilities of this combination which was exactly what I was thinking about. I needed a gps location collar for hunting grouse in hilly, heavy cover with a young, still too rangey shorthair. She has always responded to my whistle, but this will give me some peace of mind hunting new territory. Everything about the search, transaction, directions for use, and fulfillment of the order was top notch. A great product and process.

Took me a bit to buy this for my two pointers but once I did, I wish I had years ago. Super easy to set up and have used it several times with my dogs prior to this hunting season. I highly recommend getting this product

Replacement/Upgrade
August 12, 2021
After 12yrs replacing an older Garmin unit that was still working fine I took the plunge and bought the 430 long range combo. Navigating the new handheld unit is a little different but not completely unfamiliar. That's nice not having to learn a completely new rig. The dog collar has a much longer antenna that hopefully will lead to better communication with the handheld unit when line of sight is lost. The long range gear is a bit redundant I found, as the Garmin came with a longer range rubber duck antenna for the handheld unit so the extra one in the long range kit is essentially a duplicate but of different construction so made it'll perform better? However, I bought the long range kit for the roof mount antenna so that's fairly inconsequential. Early short range trials as one would expect, very good. Won't get long range results till Fall in the field.

Garmin Astro 430
April 5, 2021
Well i had problems locating my 10 month old english pointer so I purchased the Garmin Astro 430. When it came in the mail i got it out and went to my office to figure it out. I wanted to set it up on my computer first and became discouraged when i seen how technical it was. i packed to up to return that day. Then i decided to try it on the dog before i returned it. When i let the dog out of his box. he took off and i quickly realized how effective the garmin tracker really is. Within 20 minutes the handheld beeped and read that FESTUS was on point 40 yards away. Festus was on point and flused a covey of quail right over my head. IT WORKS. It would have been a mistake to return or exchange it because off it accuracy, quality and capability. Definitely worth $650 in my opinion. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! STEVE SNELL DEFINITLY KNOWS THE BEST DOG TRACKERS OUT THERE!!! THANKS STEVE!!Clay B

A homer in for Garmin
January 11, 2021
I bought the Astro 430/t5 for my German Shorthair and it has worked great for upland hunting. We went to South Dakota with several friends and it was great to be able to see my dog working in front of all of us. In many of the convenience stores, bars, and hotels were posters of lost dogs. With up to a 9 mile range, I was never concerned about where my dog was.

OK But Poor Instructions
December 25, 2020
I can keep up with my dog just fine with it, but there are so many different screens and so many different ways to get to each screen that it is over-complicated. It doesn't come with an owner's manual, just a quick start guide that leaves much to be desired. The owner's manual doesn't read much easier. You can download the owner's manual but looks like for the price Garmin charges they could at least include the complete instructions. Overall, the product works fine but the support materials are poorly conceived and written, and I'm a technical person.
Merchant Response:KG,
If you have any questions about operating the Garmin Astro 430 we have several product specialists who can help. Just give us a call at 1-800-624-6378 or email us at sales@gundogsupply.com.

Incredible Product and the best site to purchase high dollar devices
October 9, 2020
Gun Dog Supply is the only place to purchase these high dollar, no discount/coupon items. When Garmin quoted a 5-8 week turnaround Gun Dog Supply literally shipped the same day. I find that astounding that the actual manufacturer does not keep their items in stock. Gun Dog Supply is the only place I will shop for my dog related items.

Works great in Southern Mexico
September 11, 2020
Was not sure if the product would work in Southern Mexico due to the region and hot and humid weather, however It performed great no issues at all. Easy to set up and change settings language to spanish. Used on several Deer hunts in Southern Mexico where it is very humid and hot and these units performed very well. Thankyou everyone at Gun Dog Supply, customer service is great and staff is friendly, professional and very knowledgeable on the products they provide to their customers, I highly recommend them to any one who uses hunting dogs here in USA or in Mexico.

Love this product
September 3, 2020
This is great product if you have a big running dog or hunt/ train with thick cover around. Fast updates on dog location and lots of great features most I'll never probably use but they are available. Extremely long battery life on the collar have used it for 1 month+ and haven't had to recharge it yet. Use good AA batteries in the controller though or you will end up changing them every couple of weeks.

Great reception between collar & handheld, relatively easy to set up & operate. I have a Brittany & wish I would have gotten the mini collar. Full size collar is OK, but the mini would have been better.

Review for Garmin Astro 430 with T5 COMBO (4-dog GPS System)
December 6, 2016
I like the system, but would have liked it a lot better if you could track other hunters in the club that have ASTRO 320 systems with DC 40,50 collars. Knowing what I know now would have just ordered new T-5 collars instead of ASTRO 430 system. Still like what I have in the 430 because it seems to track better and farther than ASTRO 320. Thanks, A.S. King

I really like my Garmin Astro GPS but I am having a little trouble learning how to read the screen when you have 2 mountains with valleys in the middle. How do I know exactly how to read and find the exact location of the dogs and the easiest route to take? Is there a book besides what came with the system? I can find the dogs but deciding which route and quickest way is my problem. The overall system is GREAT and I would recommend it to any hunter!!!!

Easy to use and it is awesome to know where my dog is at all times
October 12, 2016
I really love the peace of mind the Garmin Astro 430 gives me while hunting. I mainly hunt Grouse and Woodcock so we are usually in heavy cover. I have always hunted with a bell and would have the difficult task of finding my dog when she went on point. I have had her 5 yards away and could't find her. With the Astro I always know exactly where she is. The on point notification is awesome. The dog direction and distance screen leads me right to my dog. I know when I am getting close so I can start looking for my dog and also try to look for possible openings for shooting The only draw back I see so far is that the battery system for the hand held could be better. Over all it is easy to use and it is awesome to know where my dog is at all times no matter if she is on the move or on point. Thick cover doesn't seem to be a problem. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to hit the woods with a dog.

The 430 works great if that is the only device you are using. I tried running both the 430 and 320 together and ran into some issues with it. If we just talk about the 430 then performance is great, but I'm sure there are a lot of hunters out there like myself that need to know about the issues when trying to run both handheld units together.
