ikerrison Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Hi all, I’m considering buying a hand held dummy launcher to use while training my spaniel. Before buying new I just wanted to see if there was anything second hand available, I am in Dereham, Norfolk but happy to pay postage. Many thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 You don't really need one, just use hand thrown canvas dummy's, if you want a gun report get an adaptor for your shotgun and some blanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archi Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 If you get one put it into an old air gun stock or get a stock adaptor for it as it takes a lot of the recoil away from the wrist. still using mine otherwise you could have had it as I’m in Reepham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikerrison Posted February 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Thanks Archi, Nice to hear from a fellow Norfolk member and thanks for the advice on recoil. Old,un. I think you are right, probably not an essential piece of kit but possibly a bit more convenient to use than the shotgun? Never used one before with my other dogs but I have probably got more time than usual to look for things to buy . 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 They are very useful. Do not every be tempted to fire one at a person or dog. They double as a personal protection facility. Equivalent to a rubber bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m talking from experience first time I strained my wrist. I think they are meant to be orange now same as blank fire starting pistols! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
