NEWSFLASH! Zinger Wingers survive Hurricane Katrina (Click here)

"I found your Katrina article "ZINGER WINGERS SURVIVE HURRICANE KATRINA" interesting. In August my group was training and a tornado hit in Stoughton, WI . My zinger winger was thrown about 50 yards and took a few tumbles while million dollar homes were being destroyed. My remote fell off but there were no blemishes on the winger."
Scott Katzenmeyer, President of Madison RC

"In our business the equipment we use must be dependable and work everyday. We train with our Zinger Wingers 5 days a week and I have yet to have a mechanical problem. I recommend them to my clients."
Bill Swanson, Flatlands Kennels

"My equipment gets used, abused and beat up. These Zinger Wingers have yet to fail me."
John Hamilton, Valenica Kennels

"Ever since we lost our help last May we've used the Zinger Winger an average of 5 to 6 days a week, with multiple set-ups. We're on our second sets of rubbers and the wingers stay on the dog truck exposed to the weather. They have performed faultlessly. They are great as retired guns and can blend in or stand out as you desire. The throw is fantastic and really get's a dog following the bird. Cheapest bird boy I ever had."
Rob Leatherbury

"Just wanted to let you know that I trained with my Zinger Wingers for two weeks in the Rockies during my vacation and I am really happy with them. They are always consistent and the throws are great."
Penny Krebs

"Just wanted to let you know we're having a blast with the Zinger Winger. The dogs LOVE it. Has worked great for a couple of headswing cases we have. They can't take their eyes off it even with two other close gunners. Also used it to shoot flyers and it was incredible. We're really enjoying it. Thanks again."
Joie & Kristie Wilder, WaterDog Kennels

"I have sent 1000's of training birds through my two Zinger Wingers. They both still look close to new and nothing has bent, broken, fallen off, or needed adjustment. I have trained with almost all the launcher brands on the market, and the convenience of the Zinger Winger's lightweight design is second to none. What really tickles me is how "grab and go" they are. They set up so fast it is hard to believe if you have used any other winger brands. Since they are never staked down, it was a pleasant surprise to find out how stable they are in a cross wind. I use them in some strong winds and they have never even threatened to tip over. Finally, being able to adjust the throw angle infinitely, and reposition the winger quickly without messing with stakes, are practical advantages if you need make a change in the fall for one young dog in the training group. Because it's so easy to do, you'll tend to make the adjustments you should make for the individual dog, rather than make a young dog "come up to the test" because it's too hard to move a winger. I like this. They're a really great training tool."

"My dad, Michael Eastin Sr., just received his 3 Zinger Wingers and electronics a few days ago. I tried them out for the first time this morning, and I'm very pleased! The construction is very solid, but yet very easy to set up. I was amazed at how high and far they threw. The most important thing is how well Ace, my female black lab, enjoyed it. She was so excited! I was able to throw more marks in 40 minutes than the past 2 weeks. Thanks."

"...my friend just picked up 4 Zingers from you, 2 for him. They are great. Amazing throws. Threw a pigeon 30 yards into the wind on low setting. [snip] Great Product."
Mike Squires

"I have owned the Training Group, Lucyana Strong Arm, the bird launcher made by Tom Bridges ( a tripod design), the Top Gun, and the Zinger Winger. [snip] The Zinger Winger is by far the best. I would not own any other type. The ZW will throw a duck much better than any person and it is always consistent. It does have its limitations in that it shoots only shotgun primers, but that is relatively minor. My dogs pickup on the sound at 350 plus yards. Rob Sampson was quick to make design changes and improvements based on user input and he has produced a great product. Mine have never failed except when I forget to plug in the Tritronics or when the batteries are low on the receiver or transmitter. Another great feature is that the receiver is mounted high on the leg about 60 inches off the ground. The others all mount near the ground which really interferes sometimes (brush, weeds, terrain, etc.) with the performance of the electronics. If and when you decide, get one from Rob. I am his best salesperson, unfortunately uncompensated!!!! They are the best."

"They came yesterday they are GREAT!! We will be ordering the third one in a couple weeks... [snip] We are so happy with these. Thank you."
Cindy Lowans

"I love the winger - works great. It is so quiet ! Every winger I have ever trained with makes clattering noises as the hooks, rings, etc fly off the release and bang the poles etc..this thing is so smooth and quiet - LOVE IT !"
Jane Bailey, Maryland

"After a lot of research on the Internet and in magazines, I purchased my first Zinger Winger last May 2001. I just purchased my second one last month. I purchased them from Lion County Supply, and they were drop shipped from you. I wanted to let you know how happy I am with your fine product. They have performed flawlessly. I have 2 labs and it was always hard to find help to throw bumpers or ducks. That problem has been solved with the use of my Zinger Wingers. I usually train 5 to 6 days a week so the launchers get a lot of use and I have never had a problem with either one of them. I really look forward to each training session to use my launchers. They are so easy and fast to set up and the variety of marks that can be thrown is endless. I thought maybe I would have trouble getting the dogs to mark on the launcher, but I was shocked when they both retrieved the first throws from the launcher. I am a member of the Sioux Valley Retriever Club and I have recommended your product to several members. I'm sure it won't be long and I will be purchasing my third Zinger Winger. Thanks for making such a fine constructed, dependable product. The dogs and I have a fun time using them."

"I purchased a Zinger from you about 2 years ago. It's still going strong and I'm pretty rough on my equipment."
Charlie Moody

"I just wanted to send a follow up after using my two Zinger Wingers for a couple weeks now. I am delighted with them. What an improvement over the original strongarms. I have thrown ducks, thawed and frozen, pigeons and just yesterday I used the ZW to launch a live duck. The ZW pouch allowed one person to man the gun station and both launch and shoot the duck. I am impressed by how far the unit will throw a bird. The high and long arc is great for long field trial marks. I especially like the idea that the arc is infinitely and quickly adjustable. [snip] Overall, I am thrilled and I wanted to let you know."
Jim Coggins

"I have run Labradors in NAHRA and AKC gun dog test and an occasional Derby for fourteen years with some degree of success (one grand master and two master hunters NAHRA). Three dogs owned three dogs titled. The Zinger Winger was first introduced into my training with my latest yellow male MHR WR Riparian Bearly Behavin. Bear was an MHR at 18 months and is presently pursuing his MH in AKC. Marks have been difficult to come by for Bear until my purchase of the Zinger Wingers. I have owned other bird launching systems in the past with poor to moderate success. The Wingers are designed small enough so that three throwers, one dog, cage, dummies, birds, guns, water cooler and other various pieces of equipment fit easily into the back of a Tacoma 4x4. The light weight of the Wingers enables me to carry two traps at a time into the field, while my wife carries out the third with the electronics. Set up time is very fast and the angle and distance of the throw can be adjusted easily. The primer always detonates (strongly recommend the Winchester 209 primer). The throws with ducks, pigeons and Dead Fowl Trainers are all excellent. The Winger has one feature that sets it apart from others. Simply put, it is extremely dependable. The set up is very easy to accomplish and it will throw every time. The three trap system is light, easy, fast and provides excellent marks. Living in Yuma Arizona, it very difficult to train do to the extreme heat. Training must be short and effective sessions. Bear is solid proof at 18 months that the Zinger Wingers are everything that they claim to be and then some. Zinger Wingers are built to last and are more than worth the investment."
Highly Satisfied Customer

"I've had my Zinger for several months now and am totally satisfied. It has enabled me to make excellent use of the time I train alone as my dogs' progress has shown. I am also impressed with the thought put into many design features, for example, the receiver unit cannot be detached from the winger without first removing the plug, minimizing the likelihood of running the battery down. (I have a second unit on my Christmas list!) Good product."
Jack Stevens

"I bought a Zinger earlier this summer. I love it. It really helped my young guy learn poison birds. Thanks."
