Homeade remote control dummy launcher

[Shawn Braquet]

After seeing Raymonds fancy launcher and a buddy saying i couldnt build one, I've built one. Just waiting one my wireless transmitter and reciever. Will be able to launch from 500 yds and throughs a dummy around 25' long x 15' high. I'm thinking it will launch a dead duck as well but not sure how far. I'll post a youtube video when i get the wireless working.

correct, actually I will have 3 of these for future training so I will be able to launch 9 bumpers at different times, also forgot to mention that each one will have a buzzer for getting the dogs attention for a better mark

Quite the engineer! Nice job!

[DannyI]

Nice, dog fixing to get a workout.

Is he really hiding his eyes? LMAO. Looks good Shawn. Post video of the test run.

My Dummy is 14. Named Jacob. He's about 100lb. I'd like yo launch him into next week, hopefully his attitude will be better then......will this contraption work?

[Shawn Braquet]

Wireless controls came in today, should be working by next week

[adamsfence]

Where is the video of this thing in action?

[Shawn Braquet]

I have had a slight set back that will hopefully be resolved this weekend, trust me I'm just as eager to get it going as I have no bird boy when I train by myself

[Ducktrickster]

Still no video?

All I can say is my dog is a beast, training him to retrieve gators for September, never recorded it in action since I bought 3 max 5000s and been using them. When I get back from vacation I'll make a video.
