Handheld Dummy Launchers?

[FinalDescent]

Anybody have any suggestions?

I think it was called the GLS fits on the end of your gun. use to have 1 but lost it when I lost my dog.........in the DIVORCE.....worked great for me ... the launcher worked pretty good too.

Good if you train alone. Can get time consuming loading the dummy and the gun. The one with the gun/shoulder mount kicks like a SOB. I prefer poppers and another person to throw marks, but that can be hard to find.

Yea, but it is a WHOLE LOT better than the one with just a bicycle handle on it. Thats what I have, Had to mount it on a piece of angle iron to keep from cutting my hand up due to recoil.

If you get one, get the one with the butt stock. It will save the webbing between your thumb alot of pain and healing.

get the rifle stock, and slip on a generic recoil pad. And only use the smaller loads. it'll still kick like hell, but it helps.

I took one of those swimming pool noodles a put it on the end.

If you have the hand-held model, the instructions tell you not to hold it with your thumb and index finger around it. Instead, hold it in your left hand with thumb and index finger at the bottom of the bicycle handle. Then bring your left hand across your body to your right side with the dummy pointing away from you and the "trigger" is pulled with your right hand. That way your left elbow joint absorbs the recoil and you dont tear your hand up because the barrel is sticking out the heel of your hand.

broke the retriever trainier at the pivot point.Threaded the ID of the buisness end......threaded a .22 revolver muzzle ID.....screwed them togeather with a threaded nipple........Now I got a multi shot hand held launcher ! Can shoot 9 bumpers without stopping to deal with loading.

What is the kick like on that sucka?

no problem....I use the oval pvc dummies....white for marks....red to plant blinds in spots that are impossible to get to.The pistol is very accurate.Puppies love it because it kicks up and rolls.....streaches em out real far before they know it.I will shoot it low so it gets more bounce and roll to it.Once they go the distance consistantly , I switch to thunderbirds.
