kent Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I have never had the need I seem to be able to get them a long way by hand when required or send someone else out to throw or leave the dog on the drop and do it myself. Just another thing I can live without Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labstaff Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I've got a lite launcher remote launcher. As I don't have to hold and its remote I can set up different scenarios, but to be honest I don't use it that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Ian g or anyone else, if u hold the luncher wwith ur pinky finger nearest the launcher (ie oppisate of the way u would natuarally hold it) the shock/kick is taken by ur movement in elbow so shouldn't hurt ur wrist. That should help u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian g Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 i tryed that as well mate wernt as bad but still decided the shoulder adapter was the best option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeredup Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 i have got one of the Dt systems low recoil launchers its very good http://www.questgundogs.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=81&product_id=155 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Iv got one of these http://www.turnerrichards.co.uk/dummy-launcher/ with various powered blanks. Works perfectly well.

scotslad Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 i tryed that as well mate wernt as bad but still decided the shoulder adapter was the best option Nae bother see a lot of folk holding them the other way and it does seem a more natural way to hold them at first. Dunno how deae the proper shoulder adapters are, but seen a few homemade vesions using 2" plumbing waste pipe, a 't' piece and some pipe lagging and duct tape. Will not look as well but fairly cheap and does same job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWD Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Get a tennis ball adapter if your training regime uses balls...virtually zero recoil, brilliant for firing balls about especially into cover . Most hand launchers kick a fair bit but a lot of the recoil is caused by dummy weight and fit RRT is the most reliable hand launcher on the market....old TRichards will break on the extractor within a few hundred shots and they kick like a mule, DT system does reduce recoil but its not cheap, new T Richards multi shot is expensive too (nicely made though) but did hear it,s only to be used with lower powered blanks http://www.litelauncher.co.uk/hand-held-launchers-and-accessories/ball-boy.asp Edited November 27, 2013 by PWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
