RRT Hand Launcher: The Original Hand-Held Dummy Launcher for Elite Gun Dog Training
 
Revolutionize your gun dog training with the RRT Hand Launcher – the iconic, patented tool that's been the #1 choice for hunters and trainers since 1965. This hand-held dummy launcher simulates real hunting scenarios by combining the sharp "BANG" of a gunshot with the soaring flight of a training dummy, helping build steadiness, marking skills, and confident retrieves in Pudelpointers, Pointers, Retrievers, and other bird dogs. Perfect for upland and waterfowl preparation, the RRT Launcher conditions your gun dog to associate sound with action, reducing flinching and enhancing focus in the field. Available in Basic and Deluxe Kits at Black Mesa Gun Dog Supply, your veteran-owned go-to for durable, field-proven training tools that stand the test of time.
